Ok. I was out of town and so could not respond to most of the latest 
discussion.

A question for you Mark, Paul, (and anyone else): Éric correctly points 
out that there are actually two distinct changes proposed here:

1. Moving the Python binary
2. Changing from "Scripts" to "bin"

So far, the primary resistance seems to be to item #1 - moving the 
python binary. There have been a few people who have noted that #2 will 
require some code to change (i.e. Paul), but I don't see lots of resistance.

Am I reading you correctly?

Thanks,
Van
