I installed python 3.7 and would like to add it to the system paths, so that a am able to use the python comand everywere on my system.
I added the path of the folder to the system path but I still canntot use python comands ouside the directory.
I added this to the system variables path: C:\Python37

A few things.
First, modern Python typically wants to install into C:\Program Files\Python37--are you certain about C:\Python37 being the path?
Second, did you add it to the system path using the dialog? If you did, did you restart your command line session? The command line won't pick up the new path until you restart it.
Finally, you'll also want to add the Scripts directory to the path too (C:\Python37\Scripts).

I've recently started working on Python and our organization's admin team doesn't usually update third-party modules located in the global site-packages directory.
So, I created a separate folder like a virtual environment and installed the latest version of the third-party module. Even after trying the sys.path.append adding the new directory, the script is still loading the old module from the default location.
How do I force my Python script to look into a specific folder for modules but not into the default directory (We're on Linux) ?
Python searches for modules in sys.path's locations in the exact order they're listed, so when it finds a module matching the name inside site-packages it doesn't go further.
You can simply push the directory at the beginning of sys.path so your folder will be searched first.
sys.path.insert(0, new_path)

I'm trying to set up my command prompt to execute my Python code. I downloaded Python, but it's not showing up in my System Variables. And to add on to that, I don't know how to add System Variables because the buttons are all grayed out:
Am I doing this wrong or am I totally on the wrong track?
More simple solution, download python again from the website and check to install PATH variables.
Edit: A picture I found on google, since I am using ubuntu.
The environment variable for python can be set at installation. If you did not set the environment variable at time of installation, please go to PC properties-> Advanced and change the environment variable.
Please note administrative rights are required to perform this action.
I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi there I have a router with OpenWrt and to enable a Startupscript, I first have to create the script.
I needt to create it in /etc/init.d/
The script is called swapon. So when I enter /etc/init.d/swapon I enter VI mode and type the script
Then I exit editing mode and type :w to save
Then it says 'error no such file or directory'
So how to create this script and let it save?
Please help.
You need to be root to edit things in /etc/. Try the following:
Make sure sudo is installed
Edit the file using sudo vi /etc/init.d/swapon
If it still complains, create the file first using sudo touch /etc/init.d/swapon
Finally, make sure the directory exists - if not, use sudo mkdir /etc/init.d

I'm following a Flask tutorial, in which I created a virtual environment to run the application.
To run the file, it asks me to run this command:
./run.py
as opposed to:
python run.py
What does the ./ do exactly and why is it necessary?
It is used because the current directory is not in $PATH. And the reason why it is not in the current directory on that list is security.
So in simple terms you can say that the ./ says 'search in the current directory for my script rather than searching at all the directories specified in $PATH'.
