It puts Python-supplied scripts there, yes, but the convention of installing user scripts in the Scripts subdirectory goes back at least a decade. Which doesn't mean it's right, but it's certainly not *new*. :) (Oh, and it's *distutils* that chooses that location, not setuptools.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
