Hi,
I must be going nutty, but I can't seem to find anywhere where I can
get just the binaries for, say, 2.3.5 for win32. I've googled high and
low and all I come up with is installer (MSI/EXE) binaries and the
source code. They have to be somewhere. I cant be the only person
that doesn't want it wrapped in an installer. If I search "win32
python binary" I get about nine thousand results pointing to Mark
Hammond's win32 Python page which, while it looks very helpful,
provides win32 extensions for an already installed python distribution.
So, I give. Can someone point me to somewhere where there is a pile of
Python 2.3 EXE and DLLs that I can happily dump somewhere on my system
without having to install? In case it matters, this is for a WAMP-like
project I'm developing that includes a working Trac installation.
Hence the need for Python, and the lack of need for an installer. And
no, I *really* don't want to compile from source.
Many thanks in advance!

Sorry, have no idea how to get them online, but ...
an idea you have not yet excluded from beeing allowed to share with you
is to use a temporary system you install Python once on and then copy
over the files in order to get what you want (and then forget about the
temporary system). Is it really that hard to do, that it should be worth
to be provided separately?
Anyone who has Python 2.3.5 installed has the files you need on his
system, so another idea you have not yet rejected from beeing shared
with you is, that you ask around to gain access to them.

AFAIK the 2.3 installers use zip-compatible compression, so you should
be able to open them in winzip or whatever archive utility you like.
OTOH, you could also install/copy whatever you like/uninstall.

Yeah, I guess that is one route to go down. It just seems, I don't
know, hacky. I will try it though, if I can't find the binaries online
by themselves. I don't think it's a question of being "hard to do"
using the method you suggested, I just find it really odd that the only
method of delivery for win32 platform (for end users, at least) is via
an MSI.
I don't know, maybe it's just me :P

Yes, it's true. At least from python-2.4.2.msi I can unpack the file
'python' and from that file any other one including the .exe and .dll
files.
If the 'python' file stored in the .msi had the ending .zip it would be
probably easier to see this directly after unpacking the .msi file.

Not quite. End users can install from sources. It's just a lot more
work than using an MSI.

Possibly you're the only one who is happy with prebuilt binaries and
at the same time unhappy with using an MSI?
Which leads to the question - exactly what do you dislike about
getting an MSI?

Movable Python provides a convenient way of getting (effectively)
Python binaries without needing to install Python. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/
It has a funky GUI program launcher and is integrated with SPE to make
a portable development environment that will work from a USB key.
All the Best,

Hello,
For distribution, it can often be easier to simply dump the
files onto the hard drive than run an MSI in silent mode, you can run an
MSI in silent mode but it involves bit more mucking about. Running an
MSI out of silent mode is not an option, if your installer starts firing
up other windows (command prompt or otherwise) - it looks amateurish and
cheap.
Certainly installing python on a box for a developer or to
support/install an in-house app, the MSI is fine and preferable.
Cheers,
Neil

Out of interest, doesn't the Python binary use the registry (and
environment variables) for building sys.path ?
Won't you still have conflicting path issues if you use an alternative
binary with an existing 'normal' install ?
