While I'm still unclear on the actual benefits of this, Martin's approach strikes a reasonable compromise so I withdraw my objections.

Ok. I was out of town and so could not respond to most of the latest discussion.

A question for you Mark, Paul, (and anyone else): Éric correctly points out that there are actually two distinct changes proposed here:

  1. Moving the Python binary
  2. Changing from "Scripts" to "bin"

So far, the primary resistance seems to be to item #1 - moving the python binary. There have been a few people who have noted that #2 will require some code to change (i.e. Paul), but I don't see lots of resistance.

Am I reading you correctly?

Thanks, Van
