Notes

• In the step 1 to open CommandPrompt, click How To Launch Command Prompt
• After step 6 from above, then you can check to the "Set The Python Path Variable Via The Command Line" in the step 4 below. After finish, you can go to the next lesson.

Set The Python Path Variable Via The Command Line

WARNING use the step "Set Up The Python Path variable In Microsoft Windows 8" from above, if you have Microsoft Windows Environment Variables Path more than 1024 characters!

If you would prefer to set the Python Path Variable via the command line, and your Microsoft Windows Environment Variables Path is less than 1024 characters, follow this below step  :

1. Open Command Prompt (make sure you "Run as administrator" with right click mouse, so you're able to add a system environment variable).
   
   

   

   Open the "Start menu" and click "All apps" down arrow button
    in the bottom-left corner.
   

   
   
   

   

   Find and hover the Command Prompt

   
   
   

   

   right click mouse on Command Prompt, then click "Run as administrator"

   
   
2. Set the value of the environment variable to your Python installation path as follows:
   setx /m PATH "C:\Program Files\Python\pythonXX"
   
   

   

   type setx /m PATH "C:\Program Files\Python\pythonXX"

   
   
3. Close and start Command Prompt window again to reload the environment variables and restart the computer to ensure the changes take effect.
   
   

   

   Close the Command Prompt window

   
   
   

   

   Click Start button > click Power Options button
   on the right top corner > click Restart

   
   
4. After restart the Microsoft Windows. Use the step 1 again to open Command Prompt window. Then use the following command to check the path of your Python installation been added correctly.
   echo %PATH%
   
   

   

   type echo %PATH%

   
   

Notes: 

• Be aware if you have Microsoft Windows Environment Variables Path over than 1024 characters when assigning contents to a variable using setx, it can result in loss of data previously held by the target variable.
• If the Path variable or Expandable Environment-Variable Strings %PATH% is exist and not empty then you can add semicolon ( ; ) and then put the directory where the Python executable is installed in our system.
• Be aware If You running the command with an existing variable without double quotes (" "), Expandable Environment-Variable Strings %PATH% and semicolon ( ; ) can be removes any variable references.
• Only administrators account can change the Environment Variable.
• Non standard Command Prompt or PowerShell may not running well.
• XX is the python version.
• You can place the installed Python inside the no matter folder that able to execute your Python script and compile your Python script, for example "C:\Program Files\Python\pythonXX".

How To Check Python Modules Using pip freeze

First step is open Command Line, and then:

To list all installed Python modules with their version numbers, use the following command:

1. pip freeze
2. and then press Enter on the keyboard.

To individually find the version number you can grep on this output on *NIX machines. For example:

1. $ pip freeze | grep PyMySQL
2. and then press Enter on the keyboard.
3. The sample result:
   PyMySQL==0.7.11

On windows, you can use findstr instead of grep. For example:

1. PS C:\> pip freeze | findstr PyMySql
2. and then press Enter on the keyboard.
3. The sample result:
   PyMySQL==0.7.11

Notes

• pip freeze shows packages that you only installed via pip or pipenv command tool.
• pip freeze excludes package management tools such as pip, wheel, distribute and setuptools, which are not needed for porting environments via requirements.txt, making it ideal for this purpose.
• pip freeze generate output suitable for a requirements file (requirements.txt).

How To Check Python Modules Using pip list

To list all installed Python modules with their version numbers, use the following command:

1. open Command Line, and then:
   pip list
2. and then press Enter on the keyboard.
3. The sample result:
   Package                             Version
   ---------------------------------- ----------
   PyMySQL                             0.7.11

To individually find the version number you can grep on this output on *NIX machines. For example:

1. $ pip list | grep PyMySQL
2. and then press Enter on the keyboard.
3. The sample result:
   Package                             Version
   ---------------------------------- ----------
   PyMySQL                             0.7.11

On windows, you can use findstr instead of grep. For example:

1. PS C:\> pip list | findstr PyMySql
2. and then press Enter on the keyboard.
3. The sample result:
   Package                             Version
   ---------------------------------- ----------
   PyMySQL                             0.7.11

How To List All Python Modules Index

to list all installed Python modules with python console, 

1. Open Command Line
2. type python command.
   and then press Enter on the keyboard.
3. use the following command:
   help("modules")
   and then press Enter on the keyboard.
4. The result will be display all Python modules index that are available after you have installed.
   
   

   

   display all Python modules index

   
   

If you want to quit from python console, type quit() command.

Warning:

If you have many installed Python modules, maybe thousands or more, there might be a potential of many spent time to show, so it is not surprising that it might hang your Python interactive console / Python interpreter / Python shell.

Default Python Path Installation

The Python executable could be in a directory in C:\PythonXX\ or in your Local AppData\ folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%) or in your Program Files\ folder (%ProgramFiles%) or (%ProgramFiles(x86)%), for instance. If the executable were in AppData\, then the path would typically look something like this:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonXX

Notes:

• The X is version based on your Python installed version.
• To read more about %USERNAME%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, %USERPROFILE%, click on the Environment variable 1
