I too am experiencing this issue. example code: name = John print(name)

I get the following error: "Windows cannot find 'python'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again."

error occurs upon running the code.

running version 1.35.1 of Atom (latest) on Windows 10 version 1803

I am having the same issue, and I even added Python to both my user path and my system path environment variables and it's still not working

I seem to have fixed, I started by uninstalling everything (python and Atom)and then re-installing python to "C:\Python3.7". Not choosing quick install but manually selecting all the options and path.

Make sure you select the option to add "PATH"

I tested by running 'python' in my command prompt to make sure it was found on my system and then installed Atom. If I now press F5 it opens up the Python IDE and runs the script.

I feel so dumb for not trying this sooner.
