Not a Python question, just a plain Windows question. Google for "windows modify path".

These steps are from this page:

From the desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.

That wasn't clear. In that case your question is a duplicate of this: stackoverflow.com/a/8358361/963195

@ketan: why from the command line? There's no obvious reason why you would need to do it that way in the scenario you describe.

@ketan, or use the reg command. System environment variables get loaded by the session manager from the following registry key: "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment".
