I installed 2.7.9 on a Win8.1 machine. The Coursera instructor did a simple install then executed Python from a file in which he'd put a simple hello world script.  My similar documents folder cannot see the python executable.  How do I make this work?

I'm not sure what you're asking but this 
https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html should help.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.

You need to set your PYTHONPATH.
Instructions here should help.
https://docs.python.org/2.7/using/windows.html

It is possible that you need to do some other things too, but again
that's the doc for it.

It’s actually %PATH%. %PYTHONPATH% does something different and is not
really useful to newcomers (especially since there are much better
ways to accomplish what it does)

Sorry about that -- what you get for not using windows.  Thank you.
