If you do "python setup.py install" (rather than just cloning the distro),
executable links to the pyi-name commands are installed someplace.
For mac it's /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pyi-*
which may or may not be on your PATH.
Not sure where they go in Windows.

What is it for, anyway? Looks like just the path to the script being
bundled.
