Why don't you just install your scripts to 'bin' everywhere then, and add the bin directory to the path on Windows? Distutils allows you to customize your install target for scripts, as does setuptools. Why do you need *Python's own default* to change, to support your preference for using a bin directory? Even if you are using tools that don't use distutils' configuration settings for these directories, why not simply fix those tools so that they do?
