How to install python on windows without admin privilege

I was looking to install python on my school computer so that I can code at school, but I don't have any admin privileges.

So far I've downloaded python using

msiexec /a python-2.7.14.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\filepath

Then I set the path to python.exe using

rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables

Now when I run python in the command prompt I get

This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator.

Is there a way around this, or will I not be able to run python without admin privileges? Thanks!

Uncheck "install for everyone" and you should be able to install without admin rights (Checked on windows)

You can use Miniconda. That allows installation of Python without admin rights. And please use Python 3.6 unless you have a very good reason to use the old 2.7, also called legacy Python.
