Re: [Visualpython-users] Installation of Vpython

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

I'm not sure about other platforms, but at least on Windows Python 
itself offers a way to install without administrative privileges. I did 
this myself once. You might have to do this on a computer you control, 
because the VPython installer automatically will look for and find the 
existing python2.2. After installing the "rootless" Python, try 
installing VPython, and you'll be asked where to find Python (since 
there won't be anything in the registry to tell it where Python is). 
Tell the VPython installer to install into the Python directory. Now all 
you have to do is carry the whole Python directory to your office 
machine and put it in your own space.
