Hi list, I like the idea of portable apps. Load a USB drive and you're ready to go.
I am switching from PHP to Python and I'm curious if anyone has tried using USB sticks for either development or distribution? I was looking at purchasing Movable Python for a USB stick. I was then going to load it up with Twisted, GTK, Leo, py2exe, py2app, protable firefox, portable thunderbird and the Uniform Server. Zip the drive, backup the file and I have an instant recovery. My development environment is safe and stable. My users are not very sophisticated so I wanted to use a USB drive for distribution. They'll plug in the USB stick, which will automatically start the webserver (Uniform Server). Then they'll interact with a wiki style website. Later they can sync their personal server with an online server somewhere for publication and backup. Later I'll include a GTK frontend and twisted server. Does this sound reasonable? Are their any alternatives to Movable Python?
