We have a central server array running Windows Server 2000 (I think
that's the right name; networking is not my specialty, but it's
definately Windows). Some of our workstations run Windows 2000; others
run Windows XP Pro. I would like to install Python on the server, and
run the application that I'll be developing from the workstations,
without having to install any Python components on the workstations
themselves. In other words, the Python executable, and the various
libraries, dll's, and what have you, as well as the application that I'm
developing, should all reside on the server. The only thing on the
workstations would be a shortcut to myapplication.py.
I would encourage you to try an "administrative" (or "network")
installation. On the server, run msiexec /a python-2.4.1.msi.
This will unpack the MSI file, and create a new one. You need
to make the resulting installation a network share.
Then, on each workstation, you install the msi file on the share,
and specify that you want to run Python from the network share.
This mode of installation is only available since Python 2.4, and
very few people are probably using it, but I'd like to hear whether
it works (it should, in principle).

Martin
