how to set path variable for python in windows 10

Certainly! Setting the PATH variable in Windows 10 for Python allows you to run Python scripts and commands from any command prompt window without having to navigate to the Python installation directory. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to set the PATH variable for Python in Windows 10:
To check if Python is installed and added to the PATH, open a new command prompt and type:
This command should display the installed Python version. If you see an error or the version is not displayed, you may need to restart your command prompt or double-check the installation process.
Locate the directory where Python is installed. The default installation path is typically:
Replace YourUsername with your actual Windows username and 3X with the version number (e.g., 3.9).
Copy the path to the Python installation directory. You can do this by right-clicking on the address bar in the File Explorer while in the Python installation directory and selecting "Copy address as text."
Now, let's add Python to the system PATH:
Right-click on the Start button and select "System."
Click on "Advanced system settings" on the left.
In the System Properties window, click the "Environment Variables" button.

In the Environment Variables window, under the "System variables" section, find and select the "Path" variable, then click the "Edit" button.

In the Edit Environment Variable window, click the "New" button, and paste the path to the Python installation directory that you copied earlier.

Click "OK" on all open windows to save the changes.
Open a new command prompt window and type:
You should now see the Python version without needing to navigate to the Python installation directory.
Congratulations! You have successfully set the PATH variable for Python in Windows 10. Now you can run Python commands and scripts from any command prompt window.
