Sublime-text2: emulating IDLE - sublimetext2

Question

There is nothing wrong with IDLE but it lacks a lot in terms of functionality and ease of use.
I want to make Sublime-text2 behave the way IDLE does. Have a window on the right with my code and an interactive python console on the left. I was able to do this by installing package control and sublimerepl in the editor. Next thing I wanted to bind F5 to run my script in sublimerepl console. I found a thread and followed these instructions. Unfortunately I am getting this error. I assume the error is due to windows machine, since linux works fine.
plugin code for F5 binding:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class PydevCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
self.window.run_command('set_layout', {"cols":[0.0, 1.0], "rows":[0.0, 0.5, 1.0], "cells":[[0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 1, 1, 2]]})
self.window.run_command('repl_open',{"type": "subprocess",
"encoding": "utf8",
"cmd": ["python2.7", "-i", "-u", "$file"],
"cwd": "$file_path",
"syntax": "Packages/Python/Python.tmLanguage",
"external_id": "python2.7"
})
self.window.run_command('move_to_group', { "group": 1 })
How can I modify the plugin code so that hitting F5 would work on windows as intended?

UPDATED
Make sure that you have your Python executable in the PATH environment variable.
In my case adding C:\Python27\ to PATH solved this issue. Of course, you might have different path :)
There is a better solution
According to https://github.com/wuub/SublimeREPL/issues/96
You can go to Settings -> Package Settings -> SublimeREPL -> Settings - User
And add this option:
{
"default_extend_env": {"PATH": "{PATH};C:\\Python27"}
}
