How to Run Python Program in Sublime Text

In this tutorial you will learn how to run python program in sublime text in windows.

Just follow below steps to configure sublime text. The whole process is divided into two parts.

Part 1: Setting Path

First of all you have to set the path of python installation directory in environment variable. You can skip this step if it is already done.

1. Copy the path of python installation directory. In my case it looks like as shown below.

C:\Users\TCP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32

Note: Here TCP is the user name of my computer. It will be different in your case.

3. Now click on Environment Variables and then under System variables select variable with name Path.

4. Click Edit button and then in Variable value field go to end and type semicolon and then paste the path of python directory that you copied. See below screenshot.
