Install Python on win32 without modifying registry

Can you install any other programs on your computer
that don't write anything to the registry?  Microsoft
programs sometimes make 100's of registry changes.
You need registry entries to associate .PY programs
with Python, etc.  Not really sure why Python should
be expected to do something that hardly any other
modern program is expected to do.
