Nevermind, I figured this out.

Navigate to Edit Environmental Variables, select path under system variables, click edit and then go to the end of the path variable and add a semi-colon and then the name of wherever your are storing your python in my case ;C:\Python27

Remember, we use Python 3.4 on Treehouse, so you'll have some different experiences in Python 2.7.
