Hello, in case you haven't heard of eGenix PyRun yet, this is a new simple to install Python runtime that can be used independently of a system installed Python version and is very small compared to a regular Python installation.
See http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ for details. We're using this runtime in our mxODBC Connect Server product and also internally as virtualenv replacement. At EuroPython we've release it as open source product. To make it easy to install eGenix PyRun, we've now added a script to our download server which lets you install PyRun just as easy as virtualenv (but without its dependency on a possible system installation of Python): https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun Per default, the script will download the PyRun binary for the target platform and install distribute as well as pip in the given target directory. Usage is simple: install-pyrun targetdir Try install-pyrun --help for a list of options. Running the script will leave you with a targetdir setup with bin/, lib/ and include/ dir as runtime environment. You can then immediately start using PyRun via bin/pyrun or install additional software using bin/pip. The installation script is brand new and we'd appreciate any feedback you can provide to enhance it.
