- Depending on how you downloaded python your PATH variable for python (the py in this walkthrough) may be diffrent. Other common names are python or python3. Its whatever you type into the command prompt in order to start python. Replace the py with whatever your PATH variable for python is. Follow this tutorial if you can't figure out your python's PATH variable and you know for certain python is installed.
