Nope, he said it was a networked PC but that Python was 
in his D: drive, which I assumed was local. But that raises an 
interesting proposition,. one that I've never tried. Is it possible 
under Windows to install Python from machine A onto 
a network drive and then run Python from machine B accessing 
that drive? In other words does the installer need to do any magic 
in the registry for Python to work or is it all just path setting 
and shortcuts?

Can anyone confirm or otherwise the possibility?

Curious,
