First I like to thank all of you that responded to my question.I went to the command prompt and type in "path" and found that python isn't in the system path. I like to ask a few question before I add python in theenvironment variable. I went to the advance tab in the system menu. Next I chose, "New" in the dialogue. my questions are; what do I put in the, "name" and "value" fields? should I type, "python" in the name field? and for the "value" field, should I type, ;c:\python25;c:\python25\lib;c:\python25\scripts? I believe the information above is what I should enter but, I want to be cautious Thanks, Rob!----- Original Message ----- From: <jaffar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 3:35 PM Subject: Re: I have a problem using python 2.5 from the command prompt Hi. Is the app you are running a fruit basket sample made with wxPython?If it is, then You may not have wxPython installed, hence the errors you aregetting. If this is the case, then you'll need wxPython and its runtime components to be installed. Go to www.wxpython.org and grab the wxPython app and runtime which is appropriate to your python version. Install it.Then be sure to set your environment path variable as follows, assuming thatyou have installed python on your C drive: ;c:\python25;c:\python25\lib;c:\python25\scripts Cheers!----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 11:34 PM Subject: Re: I have a problem using python 2.5 from the command promptRob: control panel > system > advanced > set environment variable. I'd check it as I thought the installer sets it--maybe not. On 10/16/08, ridge007@xxxxxxxxxxx <Ridge007@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi everyone, I'm using python2.5 from the command prompt.
