Is there
a way to auto execute a python script after a user double clicks to
open a folder on the USB drive? How can you capture that double click
event on a specific folder?
That would depend on what desktop / Operating System you're
using. If it's Windows, you need a shell extension (which
is non-trivial to understand and write). If it's one of the
Linux desktops, someone else had better chip in!

There is a new version of `Movable Python
<http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/>`_
available.
This is available for **Movable Python** for Python 2.2.3, 2.3.5, 2.4.3
and 2.5rc2 from :
`The Movable Python Groups Page
<http://voidspace.tradebit.com/groups.php>`_
What is Movable Python
==================
Movable Python is a portable distribution of Python for windows,
designed to be run off a USB stick or computers that don't have Python
installed. It features an IDE (Pythonwin and IDLE are included - but
you can also use SPE), and a GUI launcher.
It can be configured to use multiple interpreters from a single
interface, including acting as a GUI for any executable.
It has a host of other features (like logging all output from files,
enabling psyco for all scripts, etc).
See the following link for a list of all the new features in Movable
Python 2.0.0 :
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_07_15.shtml#e390
For an overview of the most important features (with screenshots) see :
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_07_22.shtml#e396
Other uses for Movable Python include testing programs with different
versions of Python, and providing clean install 'sandboxes' for testing
programs. It is also an ideal launcher for IronPython.
