On Windows, pyvenv.py is installed to PythonNN\Tools\Scripts, which I would generally recommend not be added to the system's or user's PATH.

It would be nice if there were a Windows-friendly launcher that's available similar to what's available on Unix. For example, on Unix, a script is created in /usr/bin/pyvenv-3.3 for Python 3.3 environments.

Perhaps Windows installs should include (alongside Python.exe) a pyvenv.exe that invokes venv for the Python environment in which it's executed. Then, if that Python.exe appears in the path, then invoking 'pyvenv' would be invoked for that Python. That approach would better fit my expectations.

Note, though, that one can always use 'py' to invoke venv as so:

py -3 -m venv

However, this mode of invocation is slightly clumsy and probably quite incongruent with the Unix style invocation (complicating a documentation author's "how to" for installing envs).
