Good question on the extra "Python" directory - I don't recall exactly why that was there, but I suspect it was for consistency with something - probably {userbase} from sysconfig.Also, thanks for catching the user scheme difference. We shouldn't really be installing any packages into the Roaming profile at all, but as this is a highly underused feature it's not a big deal. (And since we add platform tags to .pyd files now it can actually be used successfully, but I suspect that involves more care.)
