When you install python, you should check the option to add it to your system's 
path. If you haven't done that, you need to add it manually.
There are instructions on the internet how to do it.

I have installed the latest version of Python, which is 3.9.4. Every 
tutorial I have read so far, when explaining how to run it, Tells you 
to open power shell/command prompt and invoke Python from there. While 
Python shows up as a program on start menu, the commands in Power 
Shell bring up the result "Python not found". When I open the Python 
program group and launch Python that way, I get the interactive part, 
I can write simple instructions and see them executed right away. But 
how do I open a file in this setup? Seems like at least this 
installation is not as straightforward.
When I tried Ruby, I was able to start the interactive Ruby from the 
start menu, but also could invoke it from power shell, and through 
power shell I could run a Ruby script if I entered the full path. But 
power shell is not seeing Python, so entering the full path will not result 
in anything.
