"[[http://www.portablepython.com/|Portable Python]]" is a distribution of the Python programming language that * can be run without installing it. * from a USB drive, for example. * includes many extras such as different IDEs, wxPython, etc. * the exact set of extras available depends on the version of Python. * can be obtained for Python 2.5, 2.6, or Python 3.0. * is only available for Windows. According to their official [[http://www.portablepython.com/|website]], this distribution is not being developed anymore. However, the website is still worth a visit as they list several alternatives such as Anaconda that largely fulfill the same purpose. If it interests you, another analogous distribution is MovablePython.
