Issue 30569: Tutorial section 2.1 has *nix example at 3.7, but Windows at 3.6 (original) (raw)

There is a lot more wrong with the Windows part:

"On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in C:\Python36," is no longer true. All-users install is, by default, in Program Files. Current-user install is, by default, buried somewhere forgettable in the hidden /users/USER/appdata dir.

" you can type the following command into the command prompt in a DOS box:" It has been a long time since Command Prompt was widely called a 'DOS box'.

set path=%path%

The is not permanent, at least for non-admin user. One can add the install dir, whatever it is, to path during installation. Or one can use 'py -3.6'
