I read the discussion, but couldn't see anything relevant in it. Please be explicit. As for the reading the PEP, consider this paragraph in particular: It may be surprising that the launcher is installed into the Windows directory, and not the System32 directory. The reason is that the System32 directory is not on the Path of a 32-bit process running on a 64-bit system. However, the Windows directory is always on the path. I think this is quite an explicit rationale.
