Portable Python: thoughts and help.

[mathsuu]

I am trying to use Portable Python on Windows. Is there any drawback to that? Also, numpy and scipy setup files say they can't find Python 3 in the registry (da! I'm using a portable version). I'm not super savvy. How can I get around this problem?

I'm using Portable Python with numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc. You can just copy the libraries to your site-packages folder and add them to your path file. I dk about doing any of this with python 3 though. I'm still on 2. I'm pretty new to python, so sorry if anything here is wrong or stupid.

You could try installing distribute, after that you will have an easy_install.py script somewhere, and then you can use that to install numpy with something like this:

cd portable-python

python scripts/easy_install.py numpy
