C:\env>

Answer 1

Your last command uses system-wide python in C:\Python27 that is available using %PATH% variable.

Just change your last command to use

C:\env>.\Scripts\python pyramid_hello.py

or from any directory containing your scripts use an absolute path to run it with your %VENV% python interpreter.

c:\scripts>%VENV%\Scripts\python pyramid_hello.py

May be you will find it more convenient to activate/deactivate your virtualenv. Experienced users tend to have it explicit and the pyramid docs usually do not use virtualenv activation. For pyramid beginners it may be a good idea for their first steps. Just a matter of taste.

Answer 2

You should follow the installation instructions. The instructions should help you install everything you need to run "Hello World".
