The reason for adding the directory to the PATH is for it to be recognized in any command prompt, not only the Python-dedicated command prompt shortcut. Otherwise, the minute another project decides to do the same thing (provide a custom command prompt shortcut rather than add its own directory to the PATH), the user experience becomes very tedious. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
