However reinstalling Python 3.4 and check Add python.exe to Path

seems to be neccesary. Also I needed to uninstall Atom completely (inculding all packages or a least script) and reinstall it from scratch.

After all these steps:

• Install Python with Add to Path
• Install Atom
• Install script package

it works out of the box (Ctrl+Shift+B) and no further steps are required.

I still don't know what was the reason before and I don't know which of this steps are really required. So feel free to include your procedure without reinstalling everything.

Update

Reinstalling everything is certainly not necessary, simply updating/repairing the installation with the installer is sufficient.
