[Tutor] Adding the current working directory to the Windows path

[ALAN GAULD]

Hi John,

The OP wants to do it from a Python program.
Thats why I suggested using the registry.

To change the path in modern Microsoft Windows:

Right-click on "My Computer" (on the desktop or in Explorer), and
select "Properties".  Click on the "Advanced" tab.  Click the
"Environment variables" button.  Find "Path" in the System variables
list control.  Click "Edit" and make the changes you want...

Remember the days when information like this was actually _documented_? :-)
