I can't find Ipython on my windows computer

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem with finding the Ipython Shell after installing Ipython on Python 2.7.2. The suggestion is to check if the Ipython directory is listed in the path variable and, if not, add it through the System Properties.

This might be a silly question.

I installed Ipython on my Python 2.7.2 but I can't seem to find the Ipython Shell. I tried typing "Ipython" in the command prompt but it wouldn't work.

Thanks!

Open a DOS Command Prompt window and type the word 'set'. Look at the path variable. Is your Ipython directory (and/or its /bin directory) listed there? If not, then try adding it to your PATH through the System Properties -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables.
