Portable-Python

This shows how you can create a portable installation of Python from the official python.org website. The following script merely automates the steps you need to do to get a working embedded version up and running. Functionality is 100% the same as regular python.

Steps

Make sure you download the Windows embeddable package (64-bit) from:

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
  • Drop the Fix Python.ahk script (or Fix Python.exe) into the extracted zip directory.
  • Double check there is a python.exe in the folder.
  • Double click the Fix Python.ahk script.

If successful, the script will self delete.

Additional Useful Scripts

You might find it useful to add python to your bin folder or PATH:

@echo off
"%~dp0python\python.exe" %*

You can also suppress the pip warnings

@echo off
if /I "%1"=="install" ("%~dp0python\scripts\pip.exe" %* --no-warn-script-location) else ("%~dp0python\scripts\pip.exe" %*)

Both scripts assume your main folder is called "python" and are dropped in the same directory as the folder called python.

You can change the path by adding something between %~dp0 and python such as:

"%~dp0Documents\python\python.exe" %*

which translates to:

.\Documents\python\python.exe
