Python search path (on Windows)

[wooly booly]

I would like to execute a Python script from Windows command line:

Python myscript.py

This works if myscript.py resides in the current folder. My question is:
Is it possible to execute the command above from another folder?

I put the script's folder in the PYTHONPATH environment variable but this
didn't help.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, use:
python path\to\the\actual\location\of\myscript.py

I put the script's folder in the PYTHONPATH environment variable but this

No, PYTHONPATH contains the directories searched when trying to import a
module -- it's not used to locate the main script.

Then you could try

Python -m myscript

You can put the script directory in the PATH environment variable, and
call it with just:

myscript.py
