Balzer, I took a look at the zip version of ActiveState's Python.
There's a related thread in on this mailing list where I asked if the zip files are missing the Microsoft VC runtime files required by the Python interpreter. According to Trent from ActiveState, this is indeed the case. I recommend taking a look at this thread and contacting ActiveState to see when they expect to have a fix. You might also try taking a look at Py2exe and building your own Python "run time" (minus Idle).

Does it requires > installation? The .MSI installer does require installation, but there is also a .ZIP package which doesn't. It is not visible in the downloads page, but you can always get it here: http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePython/releases/2.6.5.12/ (substitute with latest version) When I just tried the "ActivePython-2.6.5.12-win64-x64.zip" on my Win7 x64 machine - by extracting and running python.exe (from INSTALLDIR/) without installing - it just worked. -srid =========== Not works for me. I tried run python script from INSTALLDIR/ - not works for me. Looks, its extremely inconveniet, not user-friendly. There's a vaste quanity of various stuff inside pyhon folders. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
