Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

In distutils docs, I’ve mentioned “setup.py thing” as an alternative to “python setup.py thing” on Windows.  For packaging, the situation is different: there is no local script anymore, people will have to invoke the global pysetup command.  Would it work if I add a note like this:

  In order to run pysetup commands, you need to add the Python Scripts
  directory to your PATH *include link to relevant section of
  docs.python.org/using*.

BTW, do scripts work without file extensions, or does the installer add .py?  If it’s the latter, then my doc note will need to mention that too.
