I need to run a python script on a machine that doesn't have python installed. What I did was as follows.

  1. Copy python.exe, python26.dll, msvcr90.dll and Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
  2. zip all the directory in LIBs directory as the python26.zip
  3. copy all the necessary dll/pyd file inside the DLL directory.

It seems to work, but when I change the python26.zip to the other name such as pythonlib.zip. It cannot find the python library anymore.

  • Q1 : What's the magic behind the python26.zip name? The python automatically finds a library inside a python26.zip but not with different name?
  • Q2 : If I have python26.zip at the same directory where python.exe/python26.dll is, I don't need to add path sys.path.append(THE PATH TO python26.zip). Is it correct?
