You talk about "Python" implementing something. Python is a language.

If what you want hasn't been implmented, it's because there haven't
been any _people_ who have wanted it enough to do it. I spent 90
seconds googling and found that what you wanted has been implemented a
couple times for Windows. There was "Portable Python," which appears
to have been abandonded.

There's also WinPython <http://winpython.github.io/> which seems to be
active. AFAICT, you just unzip it and run it (nothing needs to be
"installed"). It says you can even move that directory to another
machine and run it there if you want.

Both of those were for Windows.

It's probably never been done for Linux because Linux distros pretty
much all come with Python already installed by default, and it's
usually trivial to install alternative versions as well (and keep them
all updated) via whatever package manager the Distro uses.
