on Apr 29, 2017 @stonebig , Any progress on the portability of WinPython?
Any collaboration with WinPython Portable?
Thank You.

on Oct 31, 2017 @stonebig , What does it mean you updated the mile stone?
Thank You.
that I'll think again about it in the future
Hi,
Maybe some information on the following thread might assist with this task:

Wait and see.
- modified the milestones: 2019-01 Pandas-0.24.1 / Qt-5.12 / PyTorch-1, 2019-03 JupyterLab-1.0 / Scipy-1.3
on Mar 9, 2019 now can ship a portable VSCode, which seems suddenly all the rage in 66% of my world
let see how it goes when Jupyterlab at last remove nodejs need
- modified the milestones: 2019-03 Pandas-0.25.1+ / PyTorch-1.2 / JupyterLab-1.1, 2020-02 Jupyterlab-2
on Sep 22, 2019 Is there still a true problem on this in 2025 ?
Portable programs means it leaves no traces on the computer (No Configuration Files / Folders or Registry Keys and require no privileges to run).
WinPython (Which is amazing) claims to be portable but effectively it is not.
This is mainly because some modules aren't configured for portable mode (Spyder and Jupyter for instance).
This could be solved by defining the System Variable of the User Profile Folder to the WinPython installation folder.
We managed to work with Spyder on that - spyder-ide/spyder#4150.
Hopefully the next version will let WinPython use Spyder's Portable Mode.
But work needed with regard to QT5 and Jupyter.
A collaboration on that can be made with experienced people doing that at PortableApps.
Someone started this project - PortableApps WinPython.
They developed very nice procedure to portablize any program.
I think it would be great to collaborate on that.
