Get it working anywhere first to find out what the problem is.
Get it working in the default location before you change things. The
%PATH% environment variable exists to save you from typing seven
levels of directory names.
That's fine when everything works as it should.
It's less ideal depending on %PATH% when trying to figure out what's
gone wrong, as you don't know if it's set up properly, or whether the
new path is appended or prepended to %PATH%, or whether there is some
other py.exe or python.exe lurking in a search path that is checked first.
Also, if you have a command prompt already open, then its %PATH% will
not be updated.
