I have updated my portable version of Python to comply with the latest launcher specs etc.
Application: Python
Category: Development
Description: Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.

Please give it a try and post your feedback.

Release Notes:
This currently only supports the Python command line. With more time and experimentation I will be looking at incorporating the Python GUI or IDLE as it is better known. The release will mirror Blender Portable requirements and therefore any future release of Blender will determine the release version of Python Portable. Blender is currently built on Python 2.5.
Development Test 1 (2008-03-11):
IDLE
Integrating IDLE or some other editor (SciTe ? Notepad++ ?) would be a real great idea !
How about SPE?
How about SPE IDE - Stani's Python Editor? pythonide.blogspot.com/
Have been using it some lately, seems quite good. It's not portable as is, but it shouldn't take too much effort to make it portable.
I've been looking for a way
I've been looking for a way to make Python and SPE portable for a long time. I'd really appreciate it if someone actually managed to do this. It's a great IDE (the best one for Python IMO), and would make life much easier for developers if it could be made portable.
P2P Downloads
I used the Metalink Library to automatically create BitTorrent and eDonkey download links for you.
It would be great if you could provide a test version of Python 2.6a1, too, in order to help people test their current code for deprecation.
I, for instance, could not finish the installation on my machine (parallel to 2.5.2).
If you need help with distributing your releases, just let me know.

It is quite easy to use the existing launcher for Python 2.6a1.
Remove the contents of the PythonPortable/App/Python25 folder. If you have Python26a1 installed, copy the Python26 contents (not the folder though) and paste them into the existing Pyton25 folder in the PythonPortable/App section. That should work fine. Let me know otherwise.
I will possibly be dropping further interest with Python Portable and only offer it as a base addon for full use of python plugins etc with Blender.
Although I had been working on scripts to run a bat file and set a file association, I realised that I was putting too much into something that I really would never use myself. Sorry to those that were hoping that I would get the IDLE (Python GUI) working with the Python Portable.
When I get my server space sorted I will put it back up for anyone that wants it or even would like to continue with it if I do drop support.

Good
I didn't find any problems on my end. I think I'm finally going to take some time to learn Python.
Live. Laugh. Learn.
If you are interested, you
If you are interested, you can email it to me and I will host it for you.

Good gracious! There goes a kangaroo. I must have a practice with me boomerang- Now then, slowly back
If you throw that thing at me, I'll jump right on your head.
Innit marvellous? Got a land full of kangaroos and I had to pick that one.
Download link.
Where is the download link?
Download link.
@eduardo_38:
You can find a working BitTorrent and eDonkey link in my post from March 22, 2008.
Bazaar VCS
Can we get it with Bazaar VCS integrated in the package? That would be great!
Sourcecode
Where can I find the sourcecode?
(the torrent file only let me download a .exe file)
Im interested to incorporate the pygtk library...
Source is in Other\Source
as usually for PortableApps:
PythonPortable\Other\Source
Just extract the .paf.exe
Correct
The source code can be found where ReneL mentioned.

pdb.py, base64.py elf executables?
from the command line:
... i guess there's something wrong! :(
However after replacing with the correct files from http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/release25-maint/Lib/
it works! :)
Install and use
I install and use Python with this howto : http://portableapps.com/node/13721
