- appA. Quick tips for running Python programs in Microsoft Windows
In a Linux-operating system, Python is usually already installed. It already has Tkinter, math, and many other libraries installed. You do not have to modify any system search path variables like Path to run Python.
Microsoft Windows may throw up some obstacles but it is not too difficult to overcome them. The Python Windows installer will install everything it needs in a Windows directory C:Python27, if it is version 2.7. Python version 2.6 would get stored in C:Python26.
