[mod_python] How to make mod_python (Win32) not to relyonregistrykey?

Greetings!

BINGO!  This is a PYTHON problem, and I doubt that you'll solve it without
patching python's source code.

However, I have seen a python module that manipulates Windows Registry data.
I suspect that your most expedient solution will be to write a small program
to add the needed information to the registry, convert that program to an
EXE file, and then execute that from a batch file when you plug your 'usb
based' server into the host machine.

I'm not sure this is a mod_python problem, rather a Python problem.
There is a "Movable Python" project which is precisely what you may want : a
Python distribution that doesn't need to be installed.
Apparently the server is down right now, but you'll find it here :

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/

Anyway, let me get things clear : what you would like is to be able to
specify relative paths in the PythonPath directive, right ? So it's not
related anymore with the need to set environment variable.

Have you just tried to use the PythonPath directive, and NOT the environment
variable, providing it absolute paths for a starter ? We must first check
whether the PythonPath directive solves the problem if provided with
absolute paths, before trying to patch it to accept relative paths.
