That's not supposed to happen - it's supposed to install to the user site (PEP 
370 Per user site-packages directory) unless you specify --system. It will use 
the system Python unless you specify -p. So:

distil install xyz should install xyz to the per-user site-packages using the 
default Python, say 2.7.
distil -p python3.2 install xyz should install xyz to the per-user 
site-packages, using Python 3.2.


Specifying --system should install to the system-wide Python site-packages for 
the running Python.

In a venv, installations should always be to the venv.


I will see if the problem is Windows specific - the behaviour seems OK on POSIX.
