If you are using Windows and just installed Python and then
tried
to execute your script with "python script_name.py" and it
tells
you it cannot find the program to execute then it is likely
your
environment settings as the Python installer never seems to
set up
your path properly.
Go to My Computer -> Advanced Settings -> Environment
Settings ->
Double-Click on path -> Add your python path eg. c:\python26 at
the end
I think it should be capitalized, but I'm not sure, so:
For Python 2.6:
C:\Python26
For Python 3.1:
C:\Python31
If you didn't install it on the C: drive, change C: to the
drive letter you installed it on.
Also, check if there's a semicolon ( ; ) at the end of the
path before you add the python path, if there isn't, add it
first. Now you can continue :)

-> Restart and it should work.

Windows is case insensitive when it comes to paths and executables
names so it shouldn't matter. The semi-colon I forgot to mention
though. :)
