THIS IS REALLY KILLING ME!!!
i've been trying everything you adviced me to do, none works!!!
all i want to do is to type "python" in the cmd and get the python
command line
i want to run a server writing "python manage.py runserver" that is
not working either, of course cos "python" command is not working.
is this one of the stupid things that vista causes? or what???
