How to set environment variable PATH to use BOTH JAVA and Python

Question

I can't use Java and Python at the same time.

When I set

%JAVAHOME%\bin; %PYTHONPATH%;

I can use java, but not python. When I set

%PYTHONPATH%; %JAVAHOME%\bin;

I can use python, but not java.

I'm using windows 7. How can I go about fixing this problem?

Instead of setting path for java and python, just set environment variable for java and python will work fine, you don't have to set environment variable for python.

Don't put a space in your PATH entries

set "PATH=%JAVAHOME%\bin;%PYTHONPATH%;%PATH%"

Select Start, select Control Panel. double click System, and select the Advanced tab.
Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it. ...
In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, specify the value of the PATH environment variable.

Have you tried removing the space after the semicolon

%JAVAHOME%\bin;%PYTHONPATH%;

Select Start, select Control Panel. double click System, and select the Advanced tab.
Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables or User Variable, find
the PATH environment variable and edit it.and write the path of your compiler like this way:

Assume that your
 java compiler path is:D:\java\bin
 python compiler path is:C:\python27
 so you have to set your User or System like variables like this:

Variable name:PATH
Variable value:D:\java\bin;C:\python27

You don't have to leave any space between the paths and you can add as many 
path as you want
