Python' Is Not Recognized as an Internal or External Command

python' is not recognized as an internal or external command

You need to add that folder to your Windows Path:

https://docs.python.org/2/using/windows.html Taken from this question.

py' works but not 'python' in command prompt for windows 10

py is itself located in C:\Windows (which is always part of the PATH), which is why you find it. When you installed Python, you didn't check the box to add it to your PATH, which is why it isn't there. In general, it's best to use the Windows Python Launcher, py.exe anyway, so this is no big deal. Just use py for launching consistently, and stuff will just work. Similarly, if py.exe was associated with the .py extension at installation time, a standard shebang line (details in PEP linked above) will let you run the script without even typing py.

I don't know precisely what VSCode uses to find Python (using py.exe directly, using a copy of Python that ships with the editor, performing registry lookup, a config file that just says where to find it, etc.), but that's not really relevant to running your scripts yourself.

import' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

You're running import cx_Oracle in a Windows command line, not in a Python interpreter. You need to launch Python first, something like this:

C:\Users\PRATIKBAWANE>python
Python 3.9.9 (main, Dec 13 2021, 17:45:33) 
[GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cx_Oracle
>>>

python may have a different name in Windows cmd, like python3 or py. If none of these work, you need to check if Python is "added to PATH" (google it)

Windows: Anaconda 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command on CMD (Updated)

You probably haven't added it to your environment variables, here how you do it:

1. Go to "Edit the system environment variables" inside of control panel (you can search for it to using the search thing).

2. Once you are there make sure you are in the advanced section.

3. Click "Environment variables". In the section that says "System variables" search for something named "Path".

4. If path is not there, simply create it by clicking "New" in the part that says system variables.

5. Once you got that done, select "Path" and click edit, now find the path that you installed Anaconda in (i.e C:\Users\ftake\Anaconda3) and add it to the "Path".

6. Once you got that done try using the python command again and it should work.

If I was unclear about something, you can follow this as well: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

I know it's for java but it works the exact same way for python.

EDIT:
Also for pip it's literally the same thing just add \Scripts to the end of the path
