So, some of that information and a little research on my own helped. For
some reason the PATH wasn't reading into the gmsh folder. By adding the
folder with the gmsh executable into the path, I was able to get it to
read. Just FYI, for anyone who might need it, I used this little guide

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3701646/how-to-add-to-the-pythonpath-in-windows-7

When I type gmsh --version into the command window, I get 2.11.0

Of course, now I'm getting a ValueError saying that 2.11.0 is an invalid
version number.

Maybe I should download and try an older gmsh version? I will probably play
with this some more unless you have any ideas?

I'll post updates just in case anyone else ever runs into these problems.
