I would like to use python but I really hate the way you guys change versions like underwear. If it could be possible could there be a separate version of python like "IcePython" that would be a executable with a bz2 file containing all the py files for the modules. Then when i run the script i would run this single executable and it would dig into it's own version of py files hidden in the bz2. This would make life much easier since I could ignore the rapid changes in the api of python until i'm ready to move code to a new version. I think there's a reason corporations want long 5 year versions of linux. This would help when you have many different boxes running many different oses and many different python versions. it would be more of a write once with this executable version and it's bz2 file tagging along. Then no matter what box i want to run it on i just drop 3 files and it will run there.

No, it's not worth our time when third-parties have already solved this.

Sounds like you are on UNIX, so look at virtualenv or some other similar solution to py2exe/py2app for UNIX. -Brett

Some people still uses python1.5 which is all the way back into time.
But I think the idea of having multiple portable python interpreter is quite interesting, it can be used for things like bringing python in a USB drive to a foreign machine and be able to run python scripts from that machine without the need to do installations (e.g. portableapps.com style) And... Google turned out a USB-drive version of python: http:// www.portablepython.com/ (Windows-only)
