In Python 2.5 *and* 2.6:

--install-scripts is an option for "install"
--install-script is an option for "bdist_wininst"

While this name coincidence is a bit annoying, bdist_wininst option is
something else:

  --install-script           basename of installation script to be run
afterinstallation or before deinstallation

And in install:

  --install-scripts                    installation directory for Python scripts
