No, "%LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\PythonXY[-32]" is for a per-user
installation, unless a buggy version of the 3.5 installer failed to
update the target directory. Per-machine installs of 3.5+ default to
either "%ProgramFiles%\PythonXY" or "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\PythonXY-32",
where X and Y are the major and minor release numbers. Note that the
initial 3.5.0 release, and only 3.5.0, uses a "Python 3.5" naming
convention.
