Portable Python
Is there any difference in functionality between standard Python pack and portable Python? Why standard Python pack installation requires reboot after installation? Can portable Python used from hard drive folder? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Movable Python or ActivePython
I want Python pack that can run without being installed, mostly for testing programs. As I read, Movable Python can run without being installed. It needs no registry entries and knows the path to all the dlls (system or otherwise) that it uses. Whats about ActivePython http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads? Does it requires installation? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
ActivePython - how to configure portable framework?
I downloaded ActivePython-2.6.5.12-win32-x86.zip, it contains two folders and 3 files: SystemFolder INSTALLDIR sh2.py install.bat _install.py Anyone know how to configure this Python environment as "portable application" to work with it without installation, to set a fully-functional Python environment that executes entirely from hard drive (or USB stick) without leaving no registry entries, no mess with windows system files, etc on machine it's run on. I created folder "Python", what files I should copy inside? thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The .MSI installer does require installation, but there is also a .ZIP package which doesn't. It is not visible in the downloads page, but you can always get it here: http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePython/releases/2.6.5.12/ (substitute with latest version) When I just tried the "ActivePython-2.6.5.12-win64-x64.zip" on my Win7 x64 machine - by extracting and running python.exe (from INSTALLDIR/) without installing - it just worked. -srid === Not works for me. I tried run python script from INSTALLDIR/ - not works for me. Looks, its extremely inconveniet, not user-friendly. There's a vaste quanity of various stuff inside pyhon folders. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

wrote in message news:[email protected]... Balzer, I took a look at the zip version of ActiveState's Python. There's a related thread in on this mailing list where I asked if the zip files are missing the Microsoft VC runtime files required by the Python interpreter. According to Trent from ActiveState, this is indeed the case. I recommend taking a look at this thread and contacting ActiveState to see when they expect to have a fix. You might also try taking a look at Py2exe and building your own Python "run time" (minus Idle).

I need "install" Python on Windows XP without connection with windows system files or registry. And run Python it as independent framework. I just need test a few python scripts. Other question: how difficult is to convert Python code to pure C code? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
