New submission from Jason Spiro <jasonspiro4 at gmail.com>:
The Python Windows installer[1] should automatically add the Python and
Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable. (If you like,
you can also provide a checkbox in the installer GUI that users can
uncheck if they don't want this behavior.)
This issue was discussed at http://nabble.com/Why-does-Python-never-add-
itself-to-the-Windows-path--td8044465.html and the majority consensus
was that this is a good idea, but nobody has volunteered to implement
it.
^ [1]. The installer is generated by the code at
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Tools/msi/
