From: Thomas Tundor on 14 Jul 2010 15:28 Is Python portable? Can I install it on an USB Stick? Or is Python installing (at least on WinXP) services or register some DLLs or write something into Registry? Thomas

Yes, a single user installation of Python is portable. An installation for every user is not portable since it installs some DLLs in system32. Some features and extensions are not portable, e.g. COM with pywin32 because they require registered DLLs. Christian

Well, the installer is writing something into the registry, although it is not neccessary to run Python. regards, Marek |
