In one PC it was installed on C:python2\_7\_2 but on the other i cannot find it but i was able to run python scripts in designer/ python\_editor.  
Please guide if you can if there is any configuration inside ignition folder which points to that folder.

Ignition’s jython is embedded in the gateway install folder. Jython’s standard library is also there, under the user-lib/pylib folder. Ignition doesn’t use common “CPython” at all.
