Python "Automate the Boring Stuff" wants me to change Windows environment variables?

You can edit your environment only for the time being inside a command prompt, so that all edits will be undone when you close the box. This should work on your non-personal computer as well.

For example, create a new text file called "python_path.bat" and put these contents inside:

set "path=%path%;C:\main_python_location\;C:\main_python_location\scripts" 
cd "c:\my_python_files\"
cmd

You can now start the file and work with the command prompt and enlarged path variable

You should be able to run this with Windows Task Scheduler for every time you login
