It's actually not possible to sanely manage PATH from any installer - it really needs to
be handled by a user directly (though I can't ever bring myself to tell anyone to use the
UI for it). The old installers were less susceptible because they didn't support per-user
installs, but you'd still get the "last install Python wins" behaviour.
Something that's help keep me slightly sane is the Rapid Environment
Editor http://www.rapidee.com/en/about. I'm sure there are plenty of
other choices but it does what I need.
