[Distutils] installing scripts into the user's PATH

"Scripts are files containing Python source code, intended to be started from 
the command line." http://docs.python.org/dist/node11.html

I want to do that.  I am hoping that once it is done, it will be in a dir that 
is in the user's OS PATH.  (if that sounds restrictive, I didn't say it right. 
at this point, I don't care what dir it is in, as long as the user doesn't have 
to type it.  like /usr/bin on linux.  not sure where the right place would be on 
mac/win.)

Is this supported?
