| Now that #3561 is in, it needs to be mentioned in at least the following places: Doc\whatsnew\3.3.rst Doc\faq\windows.rst http://python.org/download/windows/ could use an update, but that's on a separate SVN repository | ||

| Don’t forget Doc/using/windows.rst and maybe the various FAQs too (general FAQ, using FAQ, devguide FAQ). | ||

| Looking at 3.3.rst, it looks like we could just add the blurb to the end of the file in the "Other issues" section. The "windows.rst" file is potentially more complicated as I assume we need to leave the directions for adding the path for users that are using older versions of Python. Perhaps we could add a sentence to the effect of: "As of Python 3.3, you may add Python and its Scripts directory to your PATH environment variable during installation of Python." | ||

| See #14941 for a couple of other issues I noticed with the current Windows docs (specifically, -m means finding the stdlib location could probably be de-emphasised and the docs on compiling should be replaced with a reference to the devguide) | ||
