How to run python file in cmd?

Question

I installed the Python 3.4 in C drive. And add Environment variable as C:\Python34. I save a python program in C>users>python>first.py. I open cmd and enter command like this

C:\users\python>python first.py

Then showing an error

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

How can i resolve this..I am totally confused..Please help me.. My OS is windows 8

`C:\Python3.4` must be added to the `PATH` environment variable. — martineau, Nov 24 '14 at 04:38

To get it working properly, you must add ;C:\Python34 on the end of the Path (or PATH) enviroment variable. I don't think C:\Python3.4 would work. The environment variables can be changed by going to: Control Panel > System > Advanced (tab) > Environment Variables.

Go to the environment variables window, and edit the Path system variables, add the C:\Python3.4 into your path variable
