Adding python to the path environment variable

In the windows command line, typing "python" should start the program. By default this doesn't work. You can change the windows path for python as explained in showmedo.

In Windows 7, to add a path to the path environment variable go to :
Control Panel\System and Security\System, then advanced system settings and environment variable, then add ";C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\" to the path variable.
