I want to make pyscripter(http://mmm-experts.com/Products.aspx?ProductId=4) portable with python(http://www.python.org)
but I did not find a tut on making a app which save config in c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\ portable. Is there anybody kind enough to tell me how to by a *real* example?

Well

try looking at PortableFirefox.nsi
That should do fine. Then use the QuickPort NSIS Template.

Check out the Development section. It will roughly go over what's included in making an application portable.

If you're going to make a Python application portable, the first thing you'll have to do is make Python portable. I haven't quite checked how Python installs itself on a system, but I'm pretty sure a Portable Python would be an interesting project.

In fact, there is a portable

In fact, there is a portable python at http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/ .it is used to be freeware, but is not now. and I don't like it very much, for we cannot install new library easily on it. So I want to make one without change the folder stucture of official python installation.
As for the Python application, there are some methods to make it executable on a PC without python. I have an article on it(http://blender.bokee.com/523381.html), and sorry for it is in Chinese Smile
And thank you for the link for Development section, I wiil try it.

OMG, it is another computer language. Is it possible a visual IDE for it?
