I'm installing Python 3 with Chocolatey, which installs into C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\python3:
> choco install python3
Is there any way I can get Python3 to install into C:\Python35 instead?
I´m aware of this question which is related to Python 2 ... but here a different package is used thus the answer there does not help in this case.

While it's typically installed in a top-level directory, e.g. C:\Python37 or in %PROGRAMFILES%, e.g. C:\Program Files\Python37, Chocolatey tends to install it under C:\ProgramData\chocolatey or C:\Tools. If you want to avoid this behavior you'll probably want to install Python using the packages from python.org.
There is a possibility to override --installargs like this:
> choco install python3 -y --override --installarguments "'/quiet InstallAllUsers=1 TargetDir=c:\Python35'"
You might see some (access denied) errors (guess Python 3.5.1 Package is broken) but overall it seems to work.
I recommend to create your own Package as there is a newer Python version 3.5.2 which is not in the public package feed on chocolatey.org yet
