You also need to make sure that python.exe in in your path. For Win2k and
XP you can do this by right-clicking My Computer and left-clicking
Properties. Then look under the Advanced tab, and clich the Environment
variables button. In the System Variables listing, look for Path, double
click to edit. Add ; c:\python22; to the end of the listing.
