Portable Ifeffit packet + portable python
Dear all, I made a portable version of Ifeffit, which is updated to the latest version. To run a program x, please double click RunXxx.bat file. There are also 3 portable python (2.5, 2.6, 2.7) with Ifeffit module. Please extract it to the same folder. (extract here as folderA\IfeffitPortable, folderA\PythonPortablexxx) Download below, IfeffitPortable: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2776935/IfeffitPortable.ziphttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/2776935/IfeffitPortable.zip Python 2.5 portable: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2776935/PythonPortable_1.1_py2.5.4.zip Python 2.6 portable: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2776935/PythonPortable_1.1_py2.6.1.zip Python 2.7 portable: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2776935/PythonPortable2.7.2.1.zip If there is a problem, please let me know. I will make more information available later. PS, if you need a dropbox, which I highly recommend. Please click my refer link http://db.tt/WRHqYkA, which will increase my box 250MB. Best, Jack Song
Hi Jack,
Thanks for posting that -- it looks like an interesting distribution
method. If I understand correctly, it looks like "Portable" here
means a dropbox-distributed Windows distribution, with some added
batch files. Is that correct?
For the Python module, it looks like you're distributing a full Python
installations -- wouldn't it be simpler to have people install a
standard python distribution (of their choosing, perhaps the
numpy/scipy-enhanced Enthought distribution) and just add the
PythonIfeffit module installer in the dropbox-distribution?
Anyway, thanks, that looks like a useful way to install Ifeffit on
Windows machines. One question for you would be: Are those URLs
stable enough to put on the Ifeffit Download wiki page?
Cheers,
--Matt

Hi, Matt,
you are right ---- it is portable for windows (tested XP, vista, win7). I do
not like to carry my laptop around when there are a lot of windows desktops
around, so I made some of my daily program portable in my flash card of
galaxy tab.For Ifeffit, I did not do much actually.
For Portable python, I updated the paths, environment var to relative ones
--- need to keep portable python and ifeffit to make it work(reason 1).
(For installed python, please install ifeffit module here:
http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/Python)
Since sometimes ifeffit automatic update did not work very well for
me(reason2) and I keep them in same portable folder(reason1), it is
convenient for me to just zip them and upload to dropbox, which will be
working out of box.
The dropbox link will be quite stable. I will update it with homepage and
better link when i have time.
Best,
