install.python-poetry.org creates poetry command wrapper in wrong directory on macOS according to documentation #30

Description

@hutchisr
  • I am on the latest Poetry version.
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
  • OS version and name: macOS 12.5.1 (arm64)
  • Poetry version: 1.2.0
  • Python version: 3.10.6_1 (Homebrew)
    (install with system python3 fails entirely)

Issue

According to the documentation, the new poetry installation script should install the poetry command to ~/Library/Application Support/pypoetry/bin/poetry with a wrapper in $HOME/.local/bin however neither of these locations get installed.

Instead, poetry gets installed to ~/Library/Application Support/pypoetry/venv/bin/poetry with the wrapper put in the much less convenient location ~/Library/Python/3.x/bin (with x being the minor python version, eg ~/Library/Python/3.10/bin).

I assume the former location is just a typo but sticking the wrapper in this undocumented python version-specific seems undesirable and probably a bug with the installer.
