15 Installing Python

27 * DOS and Windows 3.x are deprecated since Python 2.0 and code specific to these
28 systems was removed in Python 2.1.
29 * Up to 2.5, Python was still compatible with Windows 95, 98 and ME (but already

79 Configuring Python
82 In order to run Python flawlessly, you might have to change certain environment
136 Finding the Python executable
139 Besides using the automatically created start menu entry for the Python
140 interpreter, you might want to start Python in the DOS prompt. To make this
142 directory of your Python distribution, delimited by a semicolon from other
148 Typing :command:`python` on your command prompt will now fire up the Python
156 Python usually stores its library (and thereby your site-packages folder) in the
157 installation directory. So, if you had installed Python to
158 :file:`C:\\Python\\`, the default library would reside in
159 :file:`C:\\Python\\Lib\\` and third-party modules should be stored in
160 :file:`C:\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages\\`.
173 :samp:`\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\{version}\\PythonPath` under both the
180 "Python Home". Otherwise, the path of the main Python executable is used to
181 locate a "landmark file" (``Lib\os.py``) to deduce the "Python Home". If a
182 Python home is found, the relevant sub-directories added to :data:`sys.path`
184 Python path is constructed from the PythonPath stored in the registry.
186 * If the Python Home cannot be located, no :envvar:`PYTHONPATH` is specified in
192 * When running :file:`python.exe`, or any other .exe in the main Python
197 * When Python is hosted in another .exe (different directory, embedded via COM,
198 etc), the "Python Home" will not be deduced, so the core path from the
201 * If Python can't find its home and there is no registry (eg, frozen .exe, some
209 Python scripts (files with the extension ``.py``) will be executed by
210 :program:`python.exe` by default. This executable opens a terminal, which stays
214 of your Python installation directory). This suppresses the terminal window on
