One other reason not to mess with the PATH -- at least by default -- is that the user may have multiple copies of Python installed. I know I have at least one machine with 2.4.5, 2.5.2, 2.6b2 and 3.0b2 installed -- and I don't want any of them in my path.
Why ? you have them under Linux, through different names (python2.4, python2.5, etc) maybe this should be the same under Windows, e.g. having a common directory where all Python installations add a binary with a specific name, and same thing for binaries in Scripts, (easy_install-2.4, easy_install-2.5)
a /usr/local/bin for Windows in a way... system32 ?
