I was entering my path information into the wrong, well Path.  To other's who are as dense as me at the time of this writing, be sure to put your paths in System Variables.  Also, if downloading Python 2.7.6, which is one of the latest versions, you'll find the Scripts folder inside of the Tools folder.  To racap this long-winded schpeel, your System Path variables should look like this:

Thanks much for this Michael, now maybe I can get on with installing a certain gem that needs python.  Do you have anything to do with Ruby on Rails by chance?

Oh I installed the python 3.4.2 which shows up as python 34 in my C: drive  I tried to  do the powershell  with changing the 27 to 34 I'm typing
 <"Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python34\;Python\Scripts\", "User"> not working
  how do I fix this I'm on windows 7

I have windows 8 and its different to what you have here, i have no powershell?

[Darkmoon]

Yes, it's an error something in coding I looked at it. They really mucked it up lol. The solution (if you haven't already gotten it) is just wait. It opens after a couple of hours. Hope this helped :D

Where did that statement come from after you ran the powershell?
