Some builds (Activestate? Pythonwin? definitely cygwin's) don't touch
the registry (that nasty horrible beast that prevents program
portability!).  Cygwin's build presents a new set of dependencies,
though.  Maybe you can get cygwin installed on a zip disk and just
fudge the mount table for each new machine you move to (IIRC that's
the only thing cygwin sticks in the registry, and that's just a
convenience thing.  bash will still work even if the registry is
wiped clean.).

HTH,

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair
and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  Instead, it should be
that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is of GREAT WORTH in God's sight.  For this is the way the
holy women of the past used to make themselves beautiful.
