I would suggest including the minor version number (i.e. Python32
instead of Python3) because not all 3.x code is compatible with all
versions of Python 3.x - all code that works on 3.2 will work on 3.3,
but not vice versa.

You miss the point of portable Python. If you want to have entries in
the registry, use the standard installer from python.org.

Run it from a terminal. There are plenty of guides out there on how to
use a command line.

In interactive mode (i.e., when you open python.exe and when not called
by a script), the interpreter doesn't close until you execute the exit()
function. Also, see the previous answer.

Be more specific.

BTW, there is a tutorial that covers the basics:
