Running python from a usb drive

[Jordan]

If making a usb version of python was that easy, movable python would
be open source.  Check out http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/ if
you need a portable usb version of python for work or something.
Copying the Python24 directory is a good start, but doesn't include the
enormous number of registry keys that are included in the install and
are probably needed for the complete capabilites of python.  I really
hope I didn't missunderstand what you were asking about -_-;
Environmental Variables? Try setting the user/system variable
"pythonpath"
