I don't agree it's a similar problem. Python should be installed in a well-known
place with a sensible path. Of course, bonus points if Python can be launched
from anywhere, but I don't think it's a severe problem. In other words, I'd flag
this as "low priority".
What about the case when using something like py2exe to create a
distributable executable? I haven't been following this conversation
closely, so maybe this issue never applies to Windows. But I can see a
py2exe executable not having a sensible path, and there might be similar
issues on other platforms.
Eric.
