Re: possible to run a python script without installing python?
i need to run a python script on any arbitrary server and don't want to do an actual installation. i figured i could do a clean install on my machine and install whatever libraries would be needed, then zip them all up for remote deployment. to avoid bloating, i am wondering which files i can safely omit.

What's the reason for wanting to avoid installing Python? - are you just trying to save disk space? If it's a case of not having admin rights, you can just copy the Python directory, I don't believe it has any dependencies anywhere else.

For the 3.2 Windows installation, you should be able to omit Doc, Lib/test, Lib/turtledemo, and Tools. Three of those are optional installs anyway. Lib/idlelib could almost certainly go if not running IDLE from the server (which would be unlikely). If not using tcl/tk, several files in DLLs, Lib, and libs and the tcl directory can go.

Wouldn't figuring out how to use py2exe be, well, *easier* than figuring out what a minimal install would look like? Your question can't be answered in the abstract. Something is important if you use it. Without seeing your code (and without detailed knowledge of Python internals), there is no way to tell what that might be. You can of course omit things that you don't use - but because of various dependencies you might be using a file without knowing it. One of the purposes of a tool like py2exe is to automatically handle such dependencies. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
possible to run a python script without installing python?
it seems that if I copy the python.exe binary and the folders associated with it to a server without python, i can run python. does anyone know which files are important to copy and which can be omitted? i know about py2exe and have had no luck with it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
