Summary: scripts destination directory not on default path
Initial Comment:
A distutils script that uses the 'scripts' directive will install
the scripts in /Library/Frameworks/Versions/2.3/bin
This directory is not on the path, and no documentation
explains how to *put* it on the path. The end result is that
3rd party python libraries that install command line utilities
don't work out of the box.
If we need to have scripts and stuff dual homed in
/Library/Frameworks/Versions/2.3/bin and /usr/local/bin,
distutils will need to be patched to maintain the symlinks
(although I personally feel putting anything in /usr/local/bin
is a bad idea...). This of course will not be possible for the
2.3.0 release.
