So this is not the folder where python3 is installed. (See below) > python3 -m http.server --cgi 8000 > I'm running Anaconda in Windows 10.

It is likely that Python is not in your system PATH. You need to find out where it is installed and add it. In a standard Python install it would either be in C:\PROGRAM FILES\PYTHON or C:\PYTHON But Anaconda (version please?) could use its own path such as C:\ANACONDA\PYTHON > So how do I correct this?

This is OK, although you might try the Anaconda folks too since they will know more about how/where Anaconda installs python and sets up[ default paths. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
