Trouble installing & starting Python from command line in Windows 7

I'm installing Python for use with SQLMap. I've downloaded and ran the Python 2.7.2 MSI installer, and restarted my computer. According to everything I've read, I should be able to just call python and SQLMap from the DOS command line using python sqlmap.py, but the command line doesnt seem to recognize the python - I get a 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. error.

Do I need to add Python to my path variable? If so, how? Everything I've read says it should work out of the box...

Yes you should add it to your path. Does running C:\Python27\python.exe sqlmap.py work?

See for instance https://superuser.com/questions/143119/how-to-add-python-to-the-windows-path
