Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes. It has interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
The NugGt package is a portable version of Python with support and even basic built-in inclusion of third party tools like the package installer pip.
Alternatively, download the official Python's embedded version (which doesn't natively support any third party tools).
Either of them can be manually added as part of XAMPP.

According to the website, Portable Python is no longer being developed. It would seem that WinPython (http://winpython.github.io/) is its successor.
v2.7.6.1
@ jgermann: Scroll down to the bottom of the download page and use one of the mirror downloads (e.g. USA Rowan.edu). Klick on "HTTP".
v2.7.6.1
I cannot find an .exe file to download. What I get is a .torrent file which universal extractor does not recognize.
v2.7.6.1
User freakazoid posted another portable alternative, WinPython (http://winpython.sourceforge.net/; see http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=65076#p65076)...
v2.7.6.1
v3.2.5.1 and v2.7.5.1 out
v1.0 beta
a package based on Python 3.2 is also available
V1.0 beta
I tried to download it but the file can't be found.
If you only want to experiment with python, and not be encumbered by a 36MB package, you can copy the python.exe and python25.dll from Portable Python into a directory, and point PSPad to that python.exe as a project compiler. This enables you to create a python script and execute it within PSPad for < 800k. Additionally, you can 7-Zip Portable Python's Lib directory, since it contains modules you can selectively extract, as needed, for inclusion in your python scripts. The Lib directory compresses to ~2.8MB.

I extracted, added path for python, works. But could not use pip. Application says pip.exe not found. How to solve this?
