I didn't test this, but methinx you should be able to just take the files 
(exe, standard library) and copy them somewhere on your computer. I don't 
know if everything will work this way, esp. the Tkinter stuff. If all else 
fails, you could install a DOS version, which lacks some stuff (GUI, 
sockets and such) but which is fully functional otherwise.

Blessed be,

You call me a masterless man. You are wrong. I am my own master.
