Django on Windows — Setting PATH Environment Variable

To set the PATH, on Vista and newer (windows 7), push the windows button and type environment variable.

Select “Edit environment variables for your account”

Non vista+ users just right click on My Computer, go to Properties, click Advanced Properties, then the Environment Variables button to get to the same place.

Here, edit your PATH variable under System Variables.

Append whatever you like to the string ending with a ” ; “

BLAH;Blah;blah;

If you have a script hello_world.py in C:\bin, adding C:\bin to your PATH will allow you to run hello_world.py from anywhere.
