It's trivial to roll your own portable bundle of Python that doesn't 
installation. All you need is an installation "for me" instead of an 
installation for all users. When you install Python just for the current 
user all necessary files land in the installation directory -- including 
the main dll and msvcrt stuff. Note that some features like COM and 
Windows Services require some dependencies in the system32 directory.
