Installation Help

  • Installing Python on Windows
  • Installs to: C:\Python27
  • Run in powershell: [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\", "User")
  • Running scripts: python vs. pythonw
    • python.exe: Executes normally with window opening.
    • pythonw.exe: Runs silently with no window. May fail if it writes to stdout (standard output) or stderr (standard error)
    • Use pythonw when scheduling tasks or calling from another process like a .bat file.
