ANN: Python Test Environment

[stani_ at hotmail.com]

Hi Fuzzy,
I'm quite interested in your test environment project. It would enable
me to carry my favorite working environment around on my 1gb flashdisk.
Very useful indeed, as I also sometimes am at places where I can't
install or don't want to install python and all set of libraries. What
is the missing dll SPE is complaining about? Maybe you can email me
privately out of this list to discuss this further
(s_t_a_n_i at nospam.net, replace nospam with gmx). Maybe I could offer it
as a special SPE download for python newbies, if I can convince
blender.org concerning bandwith. I rather would call it than 'movable'
python. Test environment seems more for hardcore developpers, while
this is excellent for newbies to try and play around before installing.
What is the unpacked size of this python environment? Any chance if
this would work for other platforms as well?
