install wxPython on windows without admin?

The subject line says it all. Is there a way to install wxPython on a
Windows machine without admin privs? I love the way python doesn't
need admin to install locally, and I'd like to try wxPython w/o having
to get our help desk involved.

Do I have to compile it from source with Cygwin?

Thanks.

Installing wxPython on Cygwin from source is an uphill battle which I
would recommend against, though it's possible it's been done ...

I agree with that. After I posted, I went to install wxPython on my
linux box and ran into trouble with getting wxWidgets installed
because of gtk version issues. I did it before, but since then our OS
has changed from FC3 to CentOS 5 and not everything gets installed
that needs to be. I may try and get back to it when I get the chance,
but for now, it's Tkinter and Pmw.

Hello all. We don't have admin privs on our Windows boxes, but I'd like to be able to install a package built using distutils. I was able to install Python without admin, but when I tried to run the installer for this package I'm trying to install, I get a message saying that I need admin privs. Is there a way around this? Why can't it just put things in C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages like a good little installer?
