Request Apps

How about a Python compiler?
I know it uses an installer currently, but could it possibly run from USB?

I was using Apache2Triad for a long time but I found a server called Uniform Server. This is a tiny(20-30mb) server which includes Apache MySQL and PHP.

I will be happy to see this program in portableapps.com.

Here is an explanation form http://www.uniformserver.com:
The Uniform Server is a WAMP package that allows you to run a server on any MS Windows OS based computer. It is small and mobile to download or move around and can also be used or setup as a production/live server. Developers also use The Uniform Server to test their applications made with either PHP, MySQL, Perl, or the Apache HTTPd Server.

has anyone found a tool that can sync application settings with the host computer while the files are running. If so please tell!

I'm also looking for a portable app that would allow me to overwrite unused sectors of my HDD at work, and/or erase files completely by overwriting the space they occupy in the HDD several times (preferrably customizable, i.e. once, 3x, 5x, or more) using random chars.

I'm, essentially, looking for a portable version of Eraser (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=37015) ... one that doesn't muck with the registry. I don't need the scheduler feature.

Is there a portable app that can open disc image files (e.g. ISO, BIN/CUE, NRG, etc) for viewing? It would be nice if it could also write to a blank optical medium, but my main concern is just viewing and possibly extracting files/dirs from the image into the HDD.

I'm looking for an app that could capture the sound coming out of a laptop's speakers and save it as either WAV or MP3.

This is a very good Notepad clone with tabs. It's small too at >200 KB. Leaves no registry entries and is open source!

(go to the bottom and click "Download EXE". Just extract it from the ZIP file and run!)

Have anyone made a portable Ultraedit? Or can anynoe suggest any similar portable editor with syntax highlight?

Just in case someone else is looking for a way to sinc the 3 look here http://www.finchsync.com/

Any chance someone could tell me how to make it portable? Like a java command line something like c:\blah\blah\javaw.exe c:\blah\blah\finchsync.jar
so I won't have to install Java.

Are there any other WYSIWYG/code view web authoring systems for USB other than NVU. I can't really use NVU to go editing my .php pages too well...
