[New-bugs-announce] [issue23437] Make user scripts directory versioned on Windows

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore:

Patch to make the user scripts directory on Windows %APPDATA%\Python\PythonXY\Scripts rather than %APPDATA%\Python\Scripts.

See the thread "PEP 370 - per-user scripts directory on Windows" (Feb 10 2015) on python-dev for discussion, but essentially this is to ensure that different Python versions cannot overwrite each others' package scripts when packages are installed into the user site directory.

Not tested, as I don't yet have Visual Studio 2015 installed. I'll try to obtain and install it when I get the chance.
