Might be an old issue but i fixed this by setting the path to python.exe on my windows computer.

• Tap windows key and type "system" (or go to windows config ->system & security -> system)
• click on "advanced settings" in the left menu
• In the advanced settings tab click on "enviroment variables"
• In the bottom section you will see "system variables"
• Click on "path", en select "edit"
• Double click on a new empty line on the bottom and type the path to your python.exe (for example "C:\Python27"
• Click save and restart arduinoIDE and OTA should work
