Found this VERY OLD link on Stackoverflow ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/259160/did-anyone-try-portable-python
quote .............. Resolution .... You may want to check out *web2py* <http://web2py.com/>. The windows executable includes python and does run without installation for example from a usb drive, like portable python. But it includes more goodies such as a web server, web based editor and plug and play web applications. web2py is stable (currently version 1.46) web2py exposes a python shell web2py.exe -S yourappname -M There is also a web based python shell available. ...... unquote I was wondering, is the above still applicable? Because of course, when Python is installed normally to windows, you start Python IDLE, you get a lot of flexibility, some elements of debugging and good error messages, etc So can I use Web2PY in the same way I can use IDLE ie as if it was installed, and write python scripts, run them, etc?
