i didnt use the control panel way but the right click is now working,
it was an error that in the script i had a txt.file open() and the
right click way said "no such file" but the other ways found the txt
file which is weird but right clicking works for other files without a
txt file. i can live with that. i think it wise for me to try to
permanently add the path with control panel.

Thanks for all the help, its such a relief to now be able to run python 2 files
