I was not aware that discuss.python.org http://discuss.python.org was being used now. I started a thread there on PEP-582: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-582-python-local-packages-directory/963. Would you mind reposting your response there?
Yes, I actually would greatly mind posting on discuss.python.org, that site is itself contentious. Discussion mediums have been discussed to death, I won't rehash it here (nor do I want to open that issue back up), but I posted on the list for a reason.

I kind of feel that "third party tool can/will use this feature" is orthogonal to "how the interpreter behaves out of the box" - unless I misunderstand and you are suggesting python grow support for launching entrypoints from the python executable.

Running entrypoints/executables in the bin directory has been
solved by the
node community with npx
(https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx):
Executes <command> either from a local node_modules/.bin, or
from a
central cache, installing any packages needed in order for
<command> to
run.
I built similuar support into pipx as well, so `pipx run ENTRYPOINT`
will search
the appropriate `__pypackages__` path for the bin dir and the
entrypoint.
This is not the only way to solve it, but it seems to be working for
the node.
Indeed, massively popular projects like `create-react-app` (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app#quick-overview)
include
npx as their sole installation instructions.
