Inside of Python you can have a consistent definition, but that doesn't help people whose installer gets mixed signals so Python itself is in the wrong place, or who are using external tools (uninstaller, editor, application, etc) that work on or with Python. I'm not arguing for use of AppData, but at least it's easy to explain, and easy to implement, for consistency. > Another issue is discoverability.

If you're arguing for consistency why not argue for this? Sounds reasonable to me. Except Python's standard GUI is probably not up to Windows standards of beauty....
