Looking for standalone Python

[Twig]

Hello,

I have a need to have python on intranet server for other users to 
create a common tool base for working community (SW). So that workers 
can take it in use just by mapping the drive adding dirs to paths.

Need to have all standard modules at the same place, so there would not 
be any local installations required.

Is this possible? Easy?

Any ideas.

Hello,

How is installation of modules done? Is it just copying files to 
\lib\site-packages directory or is there something centralized db 
involved?
This is for self made libs, of course.

Can I use any directory if just update path or some python specific env 
var?

BTW,

Would it work if I just install Python locally (yes, Win..) and copy the 
files to shared dir/drive?
What should I do to make it work? Path append?! Special variables?

|
| absolutely.
|
| 1) do a local install to, say, c:\python24
|
| 2) check if the python DLL (python24.dll) was installed along the
| python.exe file in that directory.
|
| if not, copy it from \windows\system32 (or \winnt\system32, etc)
| to c:\python24
|
| 3) copy the entire python24 tree to suitable shared directory
|
| 4) add the shared python24 directory to the path.
|
| 
|
|
|

It is simple if you know it:) This makes my life much easier..
I thank you!

With python24.dll I found files

pythoncom24.dll
pythonw.exe (this is ok)
PYTHONW.EXE-3A9BB115.pf

from system dir. Should they be copied too?

"It's a good axe", Muddy waters said about his guitar when asked by some 
heavy-mega guitar hero.

Python is practical tool for practical problems. But if problem isn't 
practical, it is misdefined.
