How to fix it: easy:

While installing Python make sure to check the checkbox that says Add Python to PATH as below:

Or alternatively, Go to cmd prompt and type path. Check if you see python3 which was installed in this path.

if not, set the path as below

set PATH=C:\Users\xyz\Documents\softwares\python-3.8.0-embed-amd64;%PATH%

To validate it worked, type python on cmd prompt; it will display as below:

python
Python 3.8.0 (tags/v3.8.0:fa919fd, Oct 14 2019, 19:37:50) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

>>>

Go to Komodo Edit preference – > Language –> Python3 . Select Use this interpreter from the drop down menu.

Click on Apply and try to run the run command again.

It worked:
