I still am dumbfounded that this wasn’t platform I dependent in the first place, but you know what essay about hindsight.
However, I’m no Windows expert, but I *think* the modern Windows file system(s?) support something like symlinks. It’s an under-the-hood feature, but maybe it’s possible to add a symlink for bin.
It has symlinks but only available if you are administrator.
Maybe I’m wrong, and/or it’s not possible on all file systems Python needs to support, in which case *nix systems do support linking, so we could support “Scripts” on all systems.

This actually works great! If the "Scripts" folder does not exist, it uses "bin".
