[New-bugs-announce] [issue7231] Windows installer does not add \Scripts folder to the path

[sorin]

New submission from sorin <sorin.sbarnea at gmail.com>:

I observed that Windows installer is able to add only the Python
installation folder to the path. 

In addition to this it should add the Scrips folder because many python
tools are installing scripts inside it, scripts that the user cannot us
unless he add this directory to the path. 

This is very annoying because if you modify the PATH you need to
logout/login in order to be able to use the new PATH value.
