My 2ยข:

If something like this **is** done, it should IMO be packaged as an 
alternative to the normal installation procedure.

You would definitely get marketing exposure by getting the specs from 
PortableApps.com and let them host it there as  "Portable Leo", tracking 
the "official" Portable Python (currently 2.7.2) as a dependency, obviously 
including QT etc as well. But it would need to be kept up to date. . .

Most Windows users would be better served by following the normal 
installation procedure and ending up with a 
registry-and-environment-variables-complete install of Python et al which 
they can use for other things beyond Leo. Ending up with multiple instances 
of Python to maintain is likely to cause more problems.

And the normal Windows install just isn't that hard, really! Improving the 
current instructions, by providing a step-by-step "cookbook" with direct 
links to the download packages etc might make it a **little** easier (IMO 
only for the clueless), but then of course that would be a doc that would 
need pretty frequent updates, which if I may be so bold doesn't seem to 
happen too quickly on the doc side.

(for which topic I'll start a new thread)
