Using Python on Windows
*************************
.. sectionauthor:: Robert Lehmann <lehmannro@gmail.com>
This document aims to give an overview of Windows-specific behaviour you should
know about when using Python on Microsoft Windows.
Installing Python
=================
Unlike most Unix systems and services, Windows does not require Python natively
and thus does not pre-install a version of Python. However, the CPython team
has compiled Windows installers (MSI packages) with every `release
<http://www.python.org/download/releases/>`_ for many years.
With ongoing development of Python, some platforms that used to be supported

Check :pep:`11` for details on all unsupported platforms.
* Up to 2.5, Python was still compatible with Windows 95, 98 and ME (but already
raised a deprecation warning on installation). For Python 2.6 (and all
following releases), this support was dropped and new releases are just
expected to work on the Windows NT family.
* `Windows CE <http://pythonce.sourceforge.net/>`_ is still supported.
* The `Cygwin <http://cygwin.com/>`_ installer offers to install the `Python
interpreter <http://cygwin.com/packages/python>`_ as well; it is located under
"Interpreters." (cf. `Cygwin package source
<ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/
release/python>`_, `Maintainer releases
<http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/python/>`_)
See `Python for Windows (and DOS) <http://www.python.org/download/windows/>`_
for detailed information about platforms with precompiled installers.

In short, your path is:
:menuselection:`My Computer
--> Properties

--> Environment Variables`
In this dialog, you can add or modify User and System variables. To change
System variables, you need non-restricted access to your machine
(i.e. Administrator rights).
Another way of adding variables to your environment is using the :command:`set`
command::

Viewing environment variables can also be done more straight-forward: The
command prompt will expand strings wrapped into percent signs automatically::

Consult :command:`set /?` for details on this behaviour.

Finding the Python executable
-----------------------------
Besides using the automatically created start menu entry for the Python

work, you need to set your :envvar:`%PATH%` environment variable to include the
directory of your Python distribution, delimited by a semicolon from other
entries. An example variable could look like this (assuming the first two
entries are Windows' default)::

Typing :command:`python` on your command prompt will now fire up the Python
interpreter. Thus, you can also execute your scripts with command line options,
see :ref:`using-on-cmdline` documentation.
Finding modules
---------------
Python usually stores its library (and thereby your site-packages folder) in the
installation directory. So, if you had installed Python to
:file:`C:\\Python\\`, the default library would reside in
:file:`C:\\Python\\Lib\\` and third-party modules should be stored in
:file:`C:\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages\\`.
This is how :data:`sys.path` is populated on Windows:
* An empty entry is added at the start, which corresponds to the current
directory.
* If the environment variable :envvar:`PYTHONPATH` exists, as described in
:ref:`using-on-envvars`, its entries are added next. Note that on Windows,
paths in this variable must be separated by semicolons, to distinguish them
from the colon used in drive identifiers (``C:\`` etc.).
* Additional "application paths" can be added in the registry as subkeys of
:samp:`\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\{version}\\PythonPath` under both the
``HKEY_CURRENT_USER`` and ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE`` hives. Subkeys which have
semicolon-delimited path strings as their default value will cause each path
to be added to :data:`sys.path`. (Note that all known installers only use
HKLM, so HKCU is typically empty.)
* If the environment variable :envvar:`PYTHONHOME` is set, it is assumed as
"Python Home". Otherwise, the path of the main Python executable is used to
locate a "landmark file" (``Lib\os.py``) to deduce the "Python Home". If a
Python home is found, the relevant sub-directories added to :data:`sys.path`
(``Lib``, ``plat-win``, etc) are based on that folder. Otherwise, the core
Python path is constructed from the PythonPath stored in the registry.
* If the Python Home cannot be located, no :envvar:`PYTHONPATH` is specified in
the environment, and no registry entries can be found, a default path with
relative entries is used (e.g. ``.\Lib;.\plat-win``, etc).
The end result of all this is:
* When running :file:`python.exe`, or any other .exe in the main Python
directory (either an installed version, or directly from the PCbuild
directory), the core path is deduced, and the core paths in the registry are
ignored. Other "application paths" in the registry are always read.
* When Python is hosted in another .exe (different directory, embedded via COM,
etc), the "Python Home" will not be deduced, so the core path from the
registry is used. Other "application paths" in the registry are always read.
* If Python can't find its home and there is no registry (eg, frozen .exe, some
very strange installation setup) you get a path with some default, but
relative, paths.

Executing scripts
-----------------
Python scripts (files with the extension ``.py``) will be executed by
:program:`python.exe` by default. This executable opens a terminal, which stays
open even if the program uses a GUI. If you do not want this to happen, use the
extension ``.pyw`` which will cause the script to be executed by
:program:`pythonw.exe` by default (both executables are located in the top-level
of your Python installation directory). This suppresses the terminal window on
startup.
You can also make all ``.py`` scripts execute with :program:`pythonw.exe`,

Additional modules
==================
Even though Python aims to be portable among all platforms, there are features
that are unique to Windows. A couple of modules, both in the standard library
and external, and snippets exist to use these features.
The Windows-specific standard modules are documented in
:ref:`mswin-specific-services`.

The `PyWin32 <http://python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/>`_ module by Mark Hammond
is a collection of modules for advanced Windows-specific support. This includes

user interfaces
`PythonWin <http://web.archive.org/web/20060524042422/
http://www.python.org/windows/pythonwin/>`_ is a sample MFC application
shipped with PyWin32. It is an embeddable IDE with a built-in debugger.
.. seealso::

by Tim Golden
`Python and COM <http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/COM.html>`_
by David and Paul Boddie
Py2exe
------
`Py2exe <http://www.py2exe.org/>`_ is a :mod:`distutils` extension (see
:ref:`extending-distutils`) which wraps Python scripts into executable Windows
programs (:file:`{*}.exe` files). When you have done this, you can distribute
your application without requiring your users to install Python.
WConio
------
Since Python's advanced terminal handling layer, :mod:`curses`, is restricted to
Unix-like systems, there is a library exclusive to Windows as well: Windows
Console I/O for Python.
`WConio <http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/wconio.html>`_ is a wrapper for
Turbo-C's :file:`CONIO.H`, used to create text user interfaces.
Compiling Python on Windows
===========================
If you want to compile CPython yourself, first thing you should do is get the
`source <http://python.org/download/source/>`_. You can download either the
latest release's source or just grab a fresh `checkout
<http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup#checking-out-the-code>`_.
