Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

There is a lot more wrong with the Windows part:

 "On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in 
C:\Python36," is no longer true.  All-users install is, by default, in Program 
Files.  Current-user install is, by default, buried somewhere forgettable in 
the hidden /users/USER/appdata dir.

" you can type the following command into the command prompt in a DOS box:"  It 
has been a long time since Command Prompt was widely called a 'DOS box'.

set path=%path%

The is not permanent, at least for non-admin user.  One can add the install 
dir, whatever it is, to path during installation.  Or one can use 'py -3.6'
