Install 2.6.4 as non-admin on Windows

2010-03-18 Thread Mark Carter
How do I install python 2.6.4 on Windows without admin privileges?

Can I install it on a machine I control, zip up the contents, copy it
across to an admin-restricted machine, and set up a couple of
environemtn variables? Does python install files to system
directories, making this impossible?

The only file written to a system folder is python2x.dll (I think it's
not true for python2.6 any longer), so your approach is perfectly
valid if you can put this dll into a folder where it can be found by
the system.

PortablePython does this almost the same.

Thanks. That sounds easy enough to do. I guess it's the same deal with
win32all.
