Zipped Python?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a full 2.5 or 2.6 version of Python that is zipped (i.e. no
install). My intentions are to use it for a distributed computing project
(PyMW) where there is no guarantee that Python is installed on the worker
machines and an interactive install is out of the question.

I've been looking around, but I haven't been able to turn anything useful up
so far. Any help would be appreciated.

How about portable python:
http://www.portablepython.com/

or Movable Python:
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/

No experience with either, but they bear looking at.

Sorry, forgot - I need something that will work for Windows, Linux and Mac.
It could be 3 different distros (zips), but I need something for all three.

Both portable python and movable Python are Windows only.

OS X and most, if not all, Linux distributions come with Python
preinstalled (they use them for system features) so no one bothered to
make something like Portable Python for them.
