Dumb question... but you're 100% positive your python install is in "C:\Program Files\Python24" and not just "C:\Python24" Right?
Also, an alternative approach to being able to run python from the command line is to add it to the path variable in each instance of cmd.exe when it starts up. To do this, run regedit, then edit the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Process\AutoRun" You might have to add the key autorun if it's not there, and this can be done in CURRENT_USER or LOCAL_MACHINE. Enter the value : PATH %PATH%;C:\progra~1\python24; I use this approach to add directories containing other command line tools that I don't necessarily want in the path all the time since a cluttered path can cause problems sometimes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
