Portable Python Ide For Windows



There are many reasons you might not want to install Python on your system. You may not have admin rights. Or you don’t want to install yet another program that will haunt your registry for all eternity. Or you aren’t sure about Python, and want to give it a try.

  • We list the 5 best Python code editor for Ubuntu/Linux and Windows in 2020. Python is everywhere today, and it is arguably the C programming language of the modern era. You can find Python everywhere from websites, apps, data science projects, AI to the IoT devices. So being a popular programming language of this decade.
  • Go the the Python Portable folder and double-click on 'python-portable.exe'. A green icon will appear in the system tray (next to the clock). Left or right click on that icon and click on 'Open'. How to close Python / Spyder?

Whatever your reason, there are many ways to try Python without installing it. Specifically, there are 3 and 1/2 ways:

1. Portable Python distributions

Just like VIM, Spyder Python is an open source product, but unlike VIM, it’s a specific Python IDE, best suited for scientific python development. It was written in Python, and it too is available for free under the MIT license. It’s got all of the basic features, and it’s available for Mac and Linux, in addition to Windows. Anaconda Individual Edition is the world’s most popular Python distribution platform with over 20 million users worldwide. You can trust in our long-term commitment to supporting the Anaconda open-source ecosystem, the platform of choice for Python data science. Eric is a full featured Python editor and IDE, written in Python. It is based on the cross platform Qt UI toolkit, integrating the highly flexible Scintilla editor control. It is designed to be usable as everdays' quick and dirty editor as well as being usable as a professional project management tool integrating many advanced features Python.

I have tried two portable distributions:

Portable Python that comes with PyCharm, PyScripter and Ipython (command line).

And then WinPython, that comes with IPython Gui, Spyder and Mercurial.

Both are equally good, and you can choose any one based on which programs you like more.

These distributions also solve the other problem I’ve been talking of- installing Python on Windows. These distributions require no installation and can be run off USB drives.

2. Try Python online

I tried many different online Python editors, and Brython looks the most slick. It allows you to run both in interactive mode, and by giving a (online) file input. It supports Python 3.

While not as slick, Try Python supports 2.6: www.trypython.org/

3. Pythonanywhere.com

While pythonanywhere.com is an online service like the above, I have it in its own category. That’s because while the online editors are okay for playing around, pythonanywhere has so many features it blows them out of the water:

  • You can save your files
  • You get a account on a remote machine, so you can use it as your development machine
  • You can create Web servers in a few minutes. Flask, Django, Web2Py etc are supported.
  • There are thousands of preinstalled libraries
  • You get access to a MSQL database

The only downside is that you have to register, but the basic account is free. I found that the basic account is quite slow, and even if you upgrade to the $5/month option, you get a huge speed boost.

It is geared more towards web development, though you can use it for anything. For example, it took me ten seconds to create a basic Flask app:

Use a VM

I’m counting this approach as 1/2, as you really aren’t in Python land anymore (& using a VM is an extra hassle most people who just want to try Python won’t want). But it fixes a lot of the Windows install problems I’ve been talking about.

Python windows portable

What, you can’t install Virtual Box either? Luckily, there’s a portable version for that too.

Testimonials

It's performing beautifully, the UI is very intuitive and stylish (to my eyes anyway). It's about as efficient and powerful as WingIDE, but has significantly fewer UI surprises and crashes compared to WingIDE. It's UI is simpler and cleaner, while still getting it done. This is a very impressive app, on OSX close to alpha dog status (I've used ALL the OSX alternatives). — Ken

I have configured 4 GUIs (PySide, Tk, PyQt4 and wxPython) for 2 Pythons (2.7.5 and your 3.3.0) and all are working well. Unbelievable. — Tovim

This is a great program for those of us on OSX. I do not know of another IDE that works this well. — Jack

Portable Python Ide For Windows 8

For quite a while now I've been looking for a way to switch from Matlab to Python. The last remaining problem was a lack of descent IDE for interactive work. I do a lot of short calculations, so a 'cell' execution mode is crucial for me. Thanks again for a great project! — Jev

This is fantastic IDE - exactly what I was looking for! — Matt

I don't even remember how I found [Pyzo], so confused and desperate I was testing [all available IDE's] I could find. Installed it, and 10 minutes later I was coding, connecting with a glade created user interface, and everything is running so well. I ain't gonna change now. [Pyzo] is my choice. Thank you very much, and keep up this amazing work. — Jose

Thank you for a great Python IDE. — Stan

What I like especially of [Pyzo] is the plain and simple design of the UI (a Qt feature :) while providing really powerful functionality. Please, keep this project running. — Hans

This is EXACTLY the python IDE I have been waiting for, even though I didn't know it. Excellent job! — Jaap
