This definitely needs to be a FAQ, at least, if not a changed default
in the Python framework install.  I've seen this catch a large number
of people using Python web apps that install scripts for management,
such as Trac, TurboGears and so forth.  Even if we could just
recommend a ~/.pydistutils.cfg like this:

[install]
install_scripts = /usr/local/bin

we'd be better off.
