cant use certain commands, leading to more problems
Hi i was using python for a while and one day i decided to try out a module called "pyinstaller" i installed it with pip and try to run it as a cmdlet, still didnt work i then searched online for solutions and people tell me to try "python -m pyinstaller" to run it directly with python, still didnt work, i tried pip install it again but all requirements were already satisfied so i heard that the microsoft store's version of python tends to hide itself. and so i uninstalled it but when i typed in to a powershell it just directs me to the mircrosoft store's page i then disabled it from doing that and install python from python.org myself but for some weird reason this time it doesnt work at all, 'python' is somehow not recognized as a cmdlet, bash or command. this also happens with gitbash and cmd ive tried repairing python but still doesnt work if you guys have an idea or a solution to this please let me know or help me through Thanks -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If not, try manually adding the bin folder where it installed to to your system path. As to gitbash, that's an issue with your PATH as well, probably. > ive tried repairing python but still doesnt work > if you guys have an idea or a solution to this please let me know or help > me through Definitely read through the installation documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If not, try manually adding the bin folder where it installed to to your system path. Or check the option to install the py launcher and use that. No need to fuss with PATH. >py # run interactive python >py filename.py # run python with that file >py -m module # run module as a command -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
