As discussed elsewhere, we are looking at other ways to manage this.  However, 
there is already an option to turn this off.  When installing a python.org 
Python pkg from the macOS Installer app, at the fifth step, "Installation 
Type", there is a "Customize" button; clicking on that brings up a list of the 
installer's packages including "Shell profile updater"; just uncheck that 
before proceeding.  If you are using the command line "installer" program, you 
can use its -showChoicesXML option to get the .pkg choices and modify it to 
disable the profile changes package.
