As a followup, what is supposed to go into C:\? I've always thought it was awful that Python gets installed into that directory.

I don't think that the user or an installer should put anything directly in C:\. I agree, it is awful that python goes there.

It's the same as going "I'll just save this folder on / so I don't have to remember the path later".

It is not awful.

I've put junk in the root of my drives since before Windows 95. Installers that default to putting junk C:\Progra~1 are what's awful.
