Another reason to remove this feature: installing python 2.7.12 using the 
installer on www.python.org breaks the system install of Python, likely because 
of this issue.

I'm a bit sad that this feature has to go, but modern Python use (in particular 
virtualenv) has reduced the need for this feature.
