Now this might be due to some configuration issues or another, but I cannot find a fix for it, and as such, I thought I'd post it. In short, when I try to use the PIL stuff in the PP 2.6 edition I get this, well known, error:

"The _imaging C module is not installed"

I tracked it down somewhat further and couldn't find anything. The code works fine on the non-portable Pythons I have. It's just the import of the PIL. Reinstalling, rebuilding or up- downgrading the PIL modules doesn't help, it happens only on my WinXP boxes, not on my Vista boxes, also, it happens only with the 2.6 edition, not the 2.5 one. The error is explained here :  http://effbot.org/zone/pil-imaging-not-installed.htm But no solution is given. It loads everything fine, but the _imaging module. But, profiling shows that when Image is imported, it actually runs into an error as well, something about a missing manifest and a "missing export in a delay-load dependent module" The full error I get when I profile:

when importing adodbapi on 2.6.1, I get the following dialog:

Hello,

I'm working for a software company and our products supports both Linux and Windows plateforms. We are now seriously considering using Python as an alternative language to C++. On Windows would like to avoid having our clients to install Python, so we thought about Portable Python be included in our package or included in a dongle (USB) key that also contains some protection software. I just tried Portable Python on a USB key and it worked like a charm. Now, on Linux, Python is usually already installed but it rarely has the same version than we use. Typically RHEL5 comes with Python 2.4, when we use Python 2.6.1. Also it doesn't have wxPython that we used too. So, we thought that Portable Python would be the perfect solution for Linux too, I would say even better than on Linux. We could make sure our clients would always use the Python version we've been testing our software on.

So, what's the status of Portable Python for Linux ?

Many thanks.
