When installing Python on Windows, and selecting the option “Add Python to PATH”, the following folders are added to the "PATH" environment variable: - C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\ - C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\ However also the following folder should be added, _before_ the other two: - C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\Scripts\ This is needed to correctly expose scripts of packages installed with `pip install --user` (`pip` emits a warning when installing a script with `--user` flag if that folder is not in "PATH"). |

Seems reasonable, contributions welcome. I think it is not possible to add it as part of a per-machine install, since there's no way to specify a user folder in the system key (environment variables are not expanded as you might assume). |
