Totally agree, @Priyadapanicker. I ran into the same thing early on. Another subtle point on how to add Python to PATH, make sure you’re actually adding the folder where python.exe
lives. That’s usually something like C:\Python27\
, but you’ll often need to add C:\Python27\Scripts\
as well, especially if pip isn’t recognized.
And for those using newer installers, check the box that says “Add Python to PATH” during setup. Saves you all this manual hassle!
