Portable installation of Python possible? - pstein - Nov-15-2020

When I go to the Download page then I can see only Installers and no portable *.zip package.

I would like to put Python on an USB Flash Drive and run it from there (on various computers without leaving traces).

Is this somehow possible?

Peter

Can use Anaconda or smaller Miniconda from a USB Flash Drive.
Activate (base) virtual environment root_anaconda\Scripts\activate after plugged in.
Then conda and pip will use this environment and python command will always point to Anaconda version.
