Hi Group, I want to get into writing portable apps that can run solely off a USB stick, but I have a few problems.
I'm originally a java/.net developer, but I don't want it to be a requirement that the host computer has .net or a jre installed. I also am not very fond of developing with VC++ *cry*. Also done some perl, so I checked out ruby, python, python.... hey python seems mature enough and has been around quite long. Yea Python. So, I wonder if its possible to make distributable python apps that run off a USB stick? SQLite seems to be a nice candidate for a USB stick database. wxPython for the GUI, or maybe even make webapp guis with Django? Hmm... Soo.... Checked out movable python, seems pretty nice but I wouldn't be able to distribute my app with movable python since it seems to require a separate license. :( Checked out py2exe but the whole django/sqlite business seems a bit iffy with py2exe. Probably wouldn't work and the exe could end up huge. I'd like to distribute python WITH my app, in a lightweight non-bloated way, somehow. Don't need a single exe, just a small zip, and one-click to launch. Should I be looking at something else than python? TCLKit? StarKIT?
