We need more context to understand your issue. It sounds like Python was not running or installed properly. Can you run Python independently of PSSE?

We You mentioned that Pythion in not installed on your laptop. Normally when you install PSSE it offers you the option to install Python at the same time. I would recommend that approach. It normally installs here: C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34

Once it is installed, you have two options:

• Run from within PSSE (simpler)
• Run from outside PSSE, using a you own Python IDE (more functionality, better development environment).

To test whether you have it installed correctly, you could try running the PSSE Environment Manger. This is written in Python, so if it runs you are OK. Or you could go to the I/O menu, record a PSSE command as a python scrip, then run your newly created script.

If you want to install Python separately, you could go to python.org and download it. Be aware that the python version you use depends on which PSSE version you are using; for PSSE 34, use Python 2.7 You would also need more context to understand your issue.
