Ah, I always install for all users. That's why I've not
seen that path presumably?

But why *should* you install for a single user? I only
ever do that for programs that I'm still writing and
don't want other users to accidentally start. But I
want everyone to be able to run my Python programs
so I always install for everyone.

I keep forgetting that thing exists. I really must spend
some time getting to grips with it...
