How to run installed python script?

I used distutils to install my python package, with this setup.py : ``` import distutils.core args = { 'name' : 'plugh', 'version' : '1.0', 'scripts' : [ "scripts/plugh" ], 'packages': [ "plugh" ], } d = distutils.core.setup( **args ) ``` On linux/mac, it works as expected: ``` % plugh hello world % ``` On windows, the script "plugh" does not run: ``` C:\Python25\Scripts>plugh 'plugh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\Python25\Scripts> ``` I found the bug report at http://bugs.python.org/issue7231 that the \Scripts directory is not added to PATH when you install python, so I applied the workaround described in that ticket (i.e. add C:\Python25\Scripts to PATH) ``` C:\Python25\Scripts>path PATH=c:\Python25\Scripts;C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\ WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;c:\python2 5;c:\local;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 ``` Is this something that just doesn't work on Windows? And if so, how exactly are you supposed to use python scripts on a windows machine? I suppose that I could detect Windows, and add an additional script to the list, called "plugh.bat" containing something like: ``` @echo off c:\python25\python.exec c:\python25\scripts\plugh %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ``` but is that really the right answer here? I would have thought that with all the customizations that distutils contains for windows, there would be a better answer than that.
