[issue7231] Windows installer does not add \Scripts folder to the path

Isaul Vargas <isaulv [at] gmail> added the comment:

For now you can modify the path yourself, and only once, by following
these instructions:
1) Open the System Properties either via the Control Panel or pressing
WinKey-Pause
2) Click on the tab that says Advanced
3) Click on Environment Variables
4) Under System Variables, scroll down and find Path
5) Click on Edit
6) Add ;X:/PythonXX/Scripts where X is the appropriate drive letter and
python version.
7) Click OK, and OK again.

You might have to reboot, but now that it is added, you don't have to
manually update it.

[issue7231] Windows installer does not add \Scripts folder to the path [In reply to]

Thanks Isaul,
Anyway I made the required change before submitting the bug first time
and additionally to what you wrote it is enough to logout/login to
update the path - no reboot required.

The bug is about repairing/improving Python experience for all Windows
users. Imagine that you want to deploy Python plus some extensions to
many Windows computers - you will have a hard time adding Script
directory to the path.
