title: Python not working on windows command line?
body: <p>I'm at wit's end here!</p>
  
  <p>I have both of these: <code>C:\Python34\</code> and <code>C:\Python33\</code></p>
  
  <p>I have added <code>C:\Python34\</code> to the Path system variable, and I tried creating it as PYTHONPATH as well, neither of these worked. Yes of course I restarted the command line, then I even tried restarting the computer.</p>
  
  <p>What could I try next? I don't know how to "debug" system problems like this.</p>
  
  <p><code>python</code> and <code>python3</code> (the two candidate command names) are still both unrecognized commands to the Windows command line.</p>

  <p><code>echo %PATH%</code> gives this:</p>
