I know. My point was you can't do it by default and installing a
module is something even a less experienced user usually does.
Typing "C:\PythonXX\pysetup" is harder compared to "setup.py install"
and solving this problem by modifying your environment paths so that
you can just type "pysetup" is something I would expect to be done by
the MSI installer, not the user.
