If making a usb version of python was that easy, movable python would be open source. Check out http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/ if you need a portable usb version of python for work or something. Copying the Python24 directory is a good start, but doesn't include the enormous number of registry keys that are included in the install and are probably needed for the complete capabilites of python. I really hope I didn't missunderstand what you were asking about -_-; Environmental Variables? Try setting the user/system variable "pythonpath" cjl wrote: > Hey: > > I am trying to run python from a usb drive under windows xp.
