You should be able to use virtualenv to provide this functionality:

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

Create the environment you want on your home computer, then copy it
wholesale to your lab computer or even use it directly from a USB
device.

You might also want to look into one of the portable Python set ups.
This way you can have a fully portable environment that you control
completely:

  Portable Python: http://www.portablepython.com/
  Movable Python: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/

Hope this helps.
