[issue3561] Windows installer should add Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable

[Helder Magalhães]

Helder Magalhães <helder.magalhaes at gmail.com> added the comment:

See tightly related ActivePython issue [1] regarding the way directories are added to the PATH environment variable.

Also, here's qooxdoo (a well-known JavaScript framework) giving out instructions [2] on how to use the official python distribution due to the missing path and file association treatment (and also redirecting the preference to ActivePython for that).

(Setting to all versions as I believe this isn't addressed in any previous or current release.)
