[python-win32] Running Python + pywin32 portably

[Bill Tutt]

Hrm. Is it just embedding via COM servers and services or something else?
i.e. If I wrote a C++ WTL based UI to drive some embedded Python COM client
logic or SQL queries do you think I'd need to do anything extra special?

For various scary reasons I need to write a log collection tool to run on
Win2k and Win2k8 R2. The tool needs to collect some WMI, SQL, and eventlog
data.
I can't reboot the computer the tool runs on, so I can't install any
additional software. The job ought to be substantially simpler if I could
write the data collection bits in Python instead of C++.

Thanks,
Bill
