	I get the impression they are looking for a zero-install option... IE:
unpack onto a USB flash drive, take to another computer, and just be able
to run from the flash drive without needing to fiddle with PATH, registry,
etc. A way to run Python on shared (library) computers that may not have it
installed, and for which users have no ability to install applications.
