You can use the following Python code to programmatically find the location of the Scripts directory for pip's "user install":

import os
import site

user_site = site.getusersitepackages()
if user_site:
    scripts_dir = os.path.join(user_site, 'Scripts')
    if os.path.isdir(scripts_dir):
        print(scripts_dir)

This code uses the site module in Python to get the location of the user's site-packages directory, which is where pip installs packages when using the --user flag. It then appends the "Scripts" directory to the site-packages directory to get the location of the Scripts directory for user-installed packages.

The code checks whether the Scripts directory exists using os.path.isdir() and prints the directory path if it does exist.
