Scripts usually end up in a "bin" directory on linux. Is that part of the installation standard or could a package put them in an arbitrary path (other than under "site-packages") under the venv's root, for instance in a directory named "scripts"?
Pip always puts commands — both those declared with console_scripts entry points and those declared as "scripts" — in a bin/ directory (or whatever the equivalent is on Windows). The individual packages get no say in this. -- John Wodder
