On Windows, bin/pip.exe, etc is no longer installed. Instead, the installation uses non Windows specific installation of commands, including the use of shebang. Example:

c:\jython2.7.1rc\bin>more pip
#!c:\jython2.7.1rc\bin\jython.exe

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from pip import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

Most likely introduced by https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/b256a80cbbc5 when I upgraded to upstream wheels for pip/setuptools.

This is a major regression - users can no longer use bin/pip.exe, etc, although bin/jython.exe -m pip is an alternative.

Most likely this will require a small patch to the bundled wheels, most likely setuptools. We will also need to ensure that upstream is changed, so that updating pip/setuptools does not reproduce this regression.

Blocks the release candidate. But should be an easy fix.
