I think this should be the default. I am a rookie in python, setup.py in particular, but I cannot see how you can write portable setup scripts without this. I agree that the batch script can be improved. Here is how ruby gems do it: @ECHO OFF IF NOT "%~f0" == "~f0" GOTO :WinNT @"ruby.exe" "C:/ruby/bin/fd" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 GOTO :EOF :WinNT @"ruby.exe" "%~dpn0" %*
