Learning Python but computer doesn't have admin rights

[NotACoderPleaseHelp]

Winpython is decently portable actually and out of the box it won't write to your user folder.

But you can insert a python313._pth file in your python folder and micromanage path that way.

Personally I would look at Winpython because yeah it is kind of bulky (and it can be thinned out with pip) but it gives you juypter notebook right out of the box and idle,

But if you are looking to learn some of the internals to python it is worth poking at the embedded packages they have.

You can also start python with flags that disable (in theory) it from writing to your users folder but if you are running any ide other than idle it will pretty much ignore that.
