Pretty much none of the instructions in that part of the docs will work
without you altering your path beforehand. Python's cross-platform
nature means people rightly expect the same instructions to work on
Linux and Windows from a standard installation. Right now, they don't.
Notice that there is NO need to alter the system path. You just have
to tell Windows where python.exe resides; there is a per-application
path located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths.
In order to launch Python just writing "python" at the command
prompt, the installer should -instead of playing with the system
path- create a new key below App Paths, named "python.exe", and set
its default value to the full path of the installed python executable.
