Python 32 or 64 on 64-bit Windows 7? How will this affect the installation of easy_install?

Question

I wrote python code on my mac and how do I transfer it to a Windows computer. It disappoints the words. I installed Python 2.7 x32, then I uninstalled it, and then installed Python 2.7 x64. My python script depends on xlrd and xlwt and some other loaded modules. I would like to install those that use easy_install or pip, or any way that is easy for those who don’t know too much about the really messy work of a computer. For now, if I do this:

C:\Windows\System32> python 

I get:

 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. 

Anyone suggest me the next step?

I did a bunch of google-ing and stackoverflow-ing and it seems to have landed here , I'm not sure how to download something from here. For example, how can I download Pip, as well as which one to download?

People say that a person should download and install this , how would I do it?

I am familiar with the terminal, what would I type in cmd?

Answer 1

The reason I was not feeling good was because I used a mixture of Python 2.7 (32-bit) and Python 2.7 (64-bit). After several studies, I found that although my Windows 7 was 64-bit, I did not have to download 64-bit python. In fact, 32-bit python was more compatible with other programs. So I clicked and uninstalled python and everything else that had the name "Python" in it from my Add or Remove Programs menu. It took about 10 minutes. Then I downloaded 32-bit Python 2.7. After that, all the packages that I download, I made sure that they are 32-bit, not 64-bit.

Also, very important, I went to my "Environment Variables" (google how to get there) and added the directory where Python27 was installed. You can follow this guide for this . The last thing I did was add: .PY to the end of PATHEXT.
