I am writing a command-line application for Windows. I would like to review the 
Python source code to find out how to install my application so that it doesn't 
have to be called using the path and file name (i.e. being able to type 
`python` into the Command prompt, instead of 
`C:\path\to\executable\python.exe`). How does Python achieve this?

Is the Python directory (i.e. "C:\Python33") assigned to the PATH variable 
using the Batch PATH built-in command? If so, where?

The Python language source code[1] includes two seemingly relevant directories, 
`PC` and `PCbuild`. Otherwise I'm lost. This is likely a very simple statement 
buried in the complex Python source code.

Thanks,
Phil
