| http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#how-installation-works Correct standard installation location for third-party modules on Windows for Python 2.x is prefix/Lib/site-packages |

| Other Windows prefixes are probably wrong too. |

| It's a doc issue. Doc issues are pretty much by definition easy in the sense of the easy keyword (doable in a day) (unless they are controversial), so we don't bother to attach the easy keyword to them. |

| Target auditory for the `easy` keyword are largely unaware of this fact. It also may keep people off if they run into uneasy doc problem. |

| Here is a patch for the documentation. I'm not quite sure about the scripts and data part. Tested with Paramiko and a new install of 2.7 to see what would happen and that was the result. |

| Reviewing the patch (issue133572.py33.patch): You have used forward slashes for the first change - but back slashes for the others. I see that other places in the existing docs use back slashes when referring to windows paths. I have never used the --prefix option - but I am surprised that it would install scripts to prefix\Lib\site-packages (without the prefix option scripts are installed in pythondir\Scripts. Maybe installing something like grin/pylint/etc which has an executable script is a way to verify? |

| Ok, so after getting some off list help, I changed the defaults to what they should be. Also, Mark was right, "--install-scripts" generally puts things in pythondir\Scripts... as tested with pylint, mako, and some others. I changed data back to Data... though I could no verify it. Even with --install-data, I couldn't seem to find a new Data directory. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Anyway, here is the new patch. |
