What is the purpose of the "Python Scripts" folder?

Hi folks,

I have now installed Miniconda on two machines that I use at work. On the first machine, a folder called “Python Scripts” appeared, but I didn’t pay attention to when it was created, and I thought that it might have been created by Windows itself. It has remained empty. That was several months ago.

On the new machine where I just installed Miniconda, I just saw the “Python Scripts” folder appear today, and its creation time coincides with when I created my first conda venv. So I’m pretty confident that Miniconda created this folder, not the OS. What is its intended purpose? Is it for users or for conda’s use?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I’m not aware of Miniconda creating such a folder. Have you installed anything else? Where is “Python scripts” showing up?
