InstallationofPython
1. Open a browser to the Python website and download the
Windows installer.
2. Double click on the downloaded file and install Python
for all users, and ensure that Python is added to your
path. Click on Install now to begin. Adding Python to the
path will enable us to use the Python interpreter from any part
of the file system.
3. After the installation is complete,click Disable path length limit
and then Close. Disabling the path length limit means we can use more
than 260 characters in a file path
