How to build standalone python installation

How can I build python interpreter which can be installed by just extracting the archive?

e.g. I want to python-2.6.tar.gz. User will extract it in any directory, and start using it.

I went another way, on debian, and wrote a script to automate the install of python.

This is python-specific, but uses fabric and paramiko to deploy python on remote machines. see:

This may help you.

Maybe portablepython (currently Windows only) will help. You can try using it directly, or follow the install process to learn how to create such an environment.

Portable Python is a Python® programming language preconfigured to run directly from any USB storage device, enabling you to have, at any time, a portable programming environment.
