The new installer uses the standard locations for per-user and per-machine installations, but you can change it to use whatever you want. The following are the default installation locations (using "shell:" links). per-user install shell:UserProgramFiles\Python\PythonXY[-32] per-machine install shell:ProgramFiles[x86]\PythonXY[-32] UserProgramFiles defaults to "shell:Local AppData\Programs". You can relocate it, but I'd only do that for a new account. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
