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. 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. Just a thought. -CHB On Thu, Jul 21, 2022 at 8:26 AM Simão Afonso < simao.afonso@powertools-tech.com> wrote:

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