Having installed python 2.7, and added python directory to PATH variable. I started windows command line and typed "python" + enter. It neither reports error nor switch to python command line. Instead just pop up python version info and revert to windows command prompt as below

    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Restart computer does not help either. Just cannot find a similar case so post here.
