another distutils question

[Eric S. Johansson]

is there anyway I can, in a setup.py file, set  and internal equivalent 
to the '--install-scripts' commandline option?

script installation directory but I don't want on the command line where 
things can go horribly wrong if the user forgets.  I would like to 
create a new default setting  for this commandline option as well as a 
couple of other such as the data default directory.
