Greetings,
1)
I installed portablePython(pP) here:
C:\Users\vmars\Python3
?Does that look ok?
2)
I would like to try pyWin, but it won't let me install
because there is no pP3.2 in registry.
? How can I update the Registry for Python3.2 ?
3) When ever I cllick on *.py file,
it runs by so fast that I can't see what's going on.
?Is there a way to keep the pyconsole open 'til i decide to close
it?
4)
I can't seem to get turtleDemo running.
?Can anyone step me thru this?

Thanks...Vernon

Sure, why not?

I'm not a Windows expert, but isn't one of the points of Portal Python
that it doesn't mess with the registry?

If you don't get an answer here after a couple of days, perhaps try
asking again on a Portable Python or pyWin mailing list.

Put this line at the very end of your script:

x = input("Press Enter to continue... ")

What happens when you try?

P.S. in future it's probably best if you split unrelated questions into
separate email threads.

A brief look at portable python's website indicates that its meant for
running off usb sticks (ie without installation)
If you are installing in the normal way, why not use normal python?
