One other reason not to mess with the PATH -- at least by default --

Why ? you have them under Linux, through different names (python2.4, python2.5, etc)
maybe this should be the same under Windows, e.g. having a common directory where
all Python installations add a binary with a specific name, and same thing for binaries in Scripts,
(easy_install-2.4, easy_install-2.5)
a /usr/local/bin for Windows in a way... system32 ?
