Is that really much of an issue? If the PATH contains an
entry corresponding to the Python installation that's
being uninstalled, then it's not going to work once the
installation is gone, so removing it isn't going to do
much harm.
You have a point there :-)
Unless you install it with the "add to path" option, deinstall it, and
the reinstall without the "add to path" option. That is, assuming the
install directory is the same every time.
Not that I think this is common, except in testing scenarios.

Except you still have the "last in wins" issue, and you have to make a
decision on whether or not to delete the file. But I agree that
managing a single batch file is easier than dealing with the PATH
variable, and has fewer side effects (finding DLL's, etc.).
