I am struggling to get "scrapy" recognised as a command from Windows 10 command prompt. I realised this is (likely) because the running Python version in the folder I am executing the command from is Python 3.9 64-bit, but my PATH environment variables for Python and Python scripts are both set for Python 3.8 32-bit.
So my question is, why/how does typing:
python --version
on the command line show me that the running version of Python is 3.9; how can the command line even recognise 'python' as a command and associate this with 3.9 when I have not added 3.9 to my PATH variables? Does it automatically choose 3.9 because my laptop is 64-bit? And finally, can I add:
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39-64
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39-64\Scripts\
to my PATH variables, alongside the existing:
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32
C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts\
Thank you!
