Python 3.8 path on Windows 10

Question

I have problems to set the Python environment in Windows 10. The default path of Python installation is C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe

But when I run in CMD or PowerShell does not locate the Python command. Any idea?

Are you not using virtual environments, or is this a situation where it would unfeasible or impractical? — AMC, Dec 03 '19 at 08:35
you could add to `PATH` folder `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32` (without `python.exe`). — furas, Dec 03 '19 at 09:24
@AlexanderCécile, I use Virtualenv on Linux, but on W10 is the first time — Christian Prada, Dec 03 '19 at 09:32
@GinoMempin, the path is already put in the windows virtual environment — Christian Prada, Dec 03 '19 at 09:34

you need to add your python installation path to environmental variables where you can find systems path variable u can add ur location followed by ';' and path of your installation.

or simply open python ide then follow this code.

import sys
print(sys.path) #see if u can find ur installation location path in the output if not
sys.path.append('enter your installation path here')

enjoy!! hope it solved your question.

True, I forgot to comment that path is included in environment variables and even so, W10 doesn't recognize it! Thank you! – Christian Prada Dec 03 '19 at 09:03
