Thanks for the suggestion, but I expect we will stick with MSI even with
its shortcomings. Using MSI files has significant other advantages,
particularly in "managed" environments.

This is by design. If you really care passionately about this, you
should be able to find a number of discussions here, in python-dev and
in the python bug tracker.
One example of why the current behaviour is useful is that many people
install multiple Python versions side-by-side and a "last installed
wins" strategy isn't a great option.

I suspect this will be a Python 3.x issue - you probably want to stick
with 2.x.
