Command line documentation for pyvenv must be provided under http://docs.python.org/dev/using/index.html before 3.3 is released.

I would document it in library/venv, just like other tools are documented in the relevant module docs.  I’m nonetheless +1 to listing all scripts installed by Python in the Setup and Usage docs, with links.

No, we need to start using the Setup & Usage docs *more*, not less.

All tools with useful command line behaviour (especially those that are directly installed as scripts) should eventually be documented here.

The fact this has historically been avoided is no excuse for perpetuating the mistake.

The "Using" section has 4 sub-sections: one on the Python command line, + 3 on Python usage on Windows, Linux and OS X.

I propose to add a fourth sub-section "Additional Tools and Scripts" (feel free to suggest an alternative title) and under that, add a section for pyvenv.
