Background

This Sunday, I tried to do something similar to what I did in May—install Octopresss on Windows 7.¹ Different from last time, I used Ruby 2.0.0, the newest version of RubyInstaller for Windows that I could find.²

I could use Octopress with Ruby 1.9.3, so I expected that I could easily deploy things with Ruby 2.0.0. However, I was mistaken.

Problem

Solution

I used the relevant part of the error message to search for websites describing similar/related problems. Luckily, I found one in Eaten by Grues.³

I manually created a batch file in the same folder of python.exe.⁴

@ECHO OFF
python %*

The raison d’être of the trailing %* is explained in one of my old posts.

Finally, the section which: no python2 in (...) disappeard after I locally generated the site again.
