Mnemosyne is portable

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but anyway:

So it seems that Mnemosyne can be made portable easily.
There was a topic on Mnemosyne a while back and I told that making Mnemosyne portable would need modifying the source code. But I had missed the part of the Python manual that says:
On Windows, only "~" is supported; it is replaced by the environment variable HOME or by a combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.
*slaps forehead*

So it's just a matter of making a batch file or some other kind of launcher to change the variable HOME to the directory where you want the .mnemosyne folder to be and copying over the mnemosyne files.
I did a quick test (batch file below) and it seems to work just fine.
All Mnemosyne program files have been copied to C:\mnemosynetest\App.

@echo off
REM .mnemosyne folder goes here:
set HOME=\mnemosynetest\Data
App\mnemosyne.exe

For those who don't know Mnemosyne:
(from the Mnemosyne web page) It's a sophisticated free flash-card tool which optimises your learning process.

Yo, Punk:...

Not to mention, where one might find it.

No, scratch that; it'll be NECESSARY for us to know these things, dude.
