Why ? you have them under Linux, through different names (python2.4,
python2.5, etc)
maybe this should be the same under Windows, e.g. having a common directory
where
all Python installations add a binary with a specific name, and same thing
for binaries in Scripts,
(easy_install-2.4, easy_install-2.5)

a /usr/local/bin for Windows in a way... system32 ?
