+Mystic supports Python 2 and Python 3.  These settings allow you to set the location/name of the Python library that Mystic will try to load.
-=== Python Library 3 ===
+First leave set them to blank values.  If blank values do not work then you must set the value to your installed Python location/library.

+For example in Linux you could search for the library like this: "sudo find /usr -name 'libpython2.7*.so*'
+This should give you the location of your Python 2.7 library.  If you do not have Python 2.7 installed then you can usually install it via a package manager.  For Ubuntu 20.04 for example you can do:
+sudo apt install libpython2.7
+Repeat the same process for the Python 3 as well.  In Windows the DLL files are usually python27.dll and python3x.dll where x is the version and the installation typically puts them in your C:\WINDOWS folder tree somewhere.
+As always the installed bit version of Python must match the installed version of Mystic.  For example 64-bit Windows needs 64-bit Python.
