To make it clear: My suggestion is (or was, maybe it isn't a good idea)
to have some way to start 'something' that is in the Scripts
directory of a Python installation (which is usually a python script
or an exe-wrapper for it), without typing in the full path.  And without
changing the PATH envrionment variable.
