Click on start > control panel > system > advanced > environment variables. Select "path". Edit it. Click on OK enough times to get out of there.
Change the Python interpreter in the project settingsPress Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Project <project name> | Python Interpreter. Expand the list of the available interpreters and click the Show All link. Select the target interpreter.
First, press Start in the lower-left corner then press Search followed by all files and folders. Type python.exe in the top text line that shows up and then press the search. A folder name will be listed where Python got installed. Hence the folder name becomes the path of Python.
To do so, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and enter Preferences: Open User Settings. Then set python.defaultInterpreterPath , which is in the Python extension section of User Settings, with the appropriate interpreter.
PYTHONPATH is NOT what you are looking for. That is for varying where Python's "import" looks for packages and modules.
You need to change the PATH variable in your environment so that it contains e.g. "....;c:\python26;...." instead of "....;c:\python25;....". Click on start > control panel > system > advanced > environment variables. Select "path". Edit it. Click on OK enough times to get out of there.

just FYI, since both c:\python25 and c:\python26 are on PATH, I copy C:\Python25\python.exe to C:\Python25\py25.exe, and copy C:\Python26\python.exe to C:\Python26\py26.exe Then just type py25(or py26) get the specific version.
