Windows7 python build fails

#1

Hi guys,

I’m stuck on Windows for a few days, and have been running into a problem. When I attempt to build a Python test file (just print “hello world”) from Sublime, I get the following error:

[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified [Finished]

I have added python to my path variable, and it works when running from IDLE. Not really sure where to look - any suggestions?

Cheers.

You can check the PATH that Sublime Text has received by entering this in the console:

import os
os.environ

Python is located inside the Sublime Text folder and it still can’t find it.

Same issue here.

“shell_cmd or cmd is required”

A program running on windows should already know where to find cmd.exe

my PATH " just works " with idle3. Sublime cannot seem to build Python on Windows7, 64bit.

i have no internet so i needed to bike to the local library and join the forum typing on myphone just to say this so forgive my tone.
