You can specify the path of the versions explicitly:

> C:\Python27\python

or

> C:\Python34\python

And how do you know it's 2.7? – Moses Koledoye Jun 24 '16 at 14:07
c:\Python34>python Python 2.7.10 (default, May 23 2015, 09:44:00) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> – kiran_raj_r Jun 24 '16 at 14:08
See if the path to your Python3 is included in the `PATH` environment variable. In any case , you can search for `Python 3.4` in windows search to use the command line of Python 3 dierectly – Moses Koledoye Jun 24 '16 at 14:20
thanks it worked but what i need is as i am working in different directory;in that directory can i change between versions ? – kiran_raj_r Jun 24 '16 at 14:32
You should be able to change, if you're in the main cmd prompt. – Moses Koledoye Jun 24 '16 at 14:40

One other option is to use virtualenv

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

It helps you by managing/switching between several virtual Python environments.
