Right click "This PC" (Win10), Properties, Advance System Settings (respond to UAC prompt), [Environment Variables] This presents a window with "user" (the admin account being used after the UAC authorization) and "system" which are the environment variables that apply to all users. To change regular user environment variables, open old-style control panel, drill down in "User Accounts" until your get to your account, and there will be an option on the left for editing environment variables. It's not necessary to have Python in the path - it may perhaps be a little more comfortable, but not much. The file extensions .py and .pyw can be associated with python and pythonw, there is the Python Launcher, and for things like pip you can always change into your Python directory. But pip works just as well with the Launcher. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Have you tried with Perl? What is your OS and how are you trying to run it? I would suggest doing "sudo bash" and on the root prompt do this: dnf -y install python3 When you type "which python", your OS should tell you where your Python is: [mgogala@umajor tmp]$ which python /usr/bin/python You can further test by echoing Python version: [mgogala@umajor tmp]$ python -V Python 3.9.1 If you see something like C:\ prompt, then install Cygwin and use your Python from Cygwin. Your goal is have bash and vi editor. If that is an option, reformat your boot drive and install Ubuntu, Mint or Fedora. [mgogala@umajor tmp]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three) [mgogala@umajor tmp]$ Visual studio code is available both on Linux and Windows and is freaking awesome. No need to run Idle. Idle is a flint ax when compared to VSCode. VSCode supports auto-completion, formatting and many other things that you cannot even dream of in Idle.

Python is simply an interpreter, not a graphical application, and is normally run from the command prompt. Your program is in fact running, but after it finishes, the window goes away, as it does for all console programs. If you run it from a command prompt you will see the complete output from your program. Please read the link that DL Neil helpfully provided to get you up and running on Windows. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
