Python is not recognized in Sublime3 even though my path is correct?

If I run the basic IDLE on Python, it will run my scripts but when I try to run them though Sublime 3 it states Python is not recognized. This is even though Python is already added to my path.

Another odd thing is when I type python in my command line it is not recognized but if type in py, it shows the Python version.

This is the path:

[path:C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\NVIDIACorporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\ATITechnologies\ATI.ACE\CoreStatic;C:\ProgramFiles\dotnet\;C:\Users\Tommy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts]

Your PATH should also point to

C:\Users\Tommy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\

it just points to Python's scripts, not Python itself.

Sublime tries to use "python", but as it isn't in PATH, it doesn't work. That is the same for your command line.

If you point it to the folder I used, it will look for Python 3.7, if you need to use other Python's versions, you can use the py helper.

For example, for Python 3.6:

py -3.6 <script>

The python.exe file has to be in one of directories listed in the PATH variable.

If it's not in

C:\Users\Tommy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts

then you have to add another directory. My guess would be the Python37 directory.
