python is not recognized as an internal command code example

Example 1: 'python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

There is no python3.exe file, that is why it fails.

Try:

py

instead.

py is just a launcher for python.exe. If you have more than one python versions installed on your machine (2.x, 3.x) you can specify what version of python to launch by

py -2 or py -3

Example 2: python is not recognized as an internal or external command when running script

If when executing the python program you get this error, simply replace the word "python" with "py"
Instead of python first.py
Write py first.py
