I think that on Windows you might have to assume that the user has the rights to install to site-packages, regardless of where the Python version is installed.  Please see https://docs.python.org/dev/using/windows.html for the installation screen for 3.5.  If this is not the case Raymond's final requirement "Change default install directory" would not help as the user still needs to change the environment to get Python working, or have I missed something?
