One of most attractive feature is to install as ported
So I installed on one computer WinPython by . exe
Then added several packages by manually installation by pip
But when I copied this WinPython folder to another computer , then manual pip installation stopped to work
Pip was not recognized
Only pip use by this way
Python pip install package name
Was ok
What else is not working when we just copy WinPython folder to another computer?
And how to make sure when just coping WinPython to another computer works perfectly?
It would be great to have fully works portable installation
What would be great advantage vs other python installations!

Hum, you may have upgraded pip. If So, click on the script "make winpython portable" to go back to normal

thanks for soon answer
but there is only
make_winpython_movable.bat
do you mean
make_winpython_movable.bat
instead of
"make winpython portable"

where to run it
on original computer or on computer where winpython was copied
by the way
jupyter-notebook.exe can not be run neither
'"D:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\python-3.7.4.amd64\scripts\jupyter-notebook.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

D:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\notebooks>

PS the way these are all scripts what I see
e:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\scripts\make_cython_use_mingw.bat
e:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\scripts\make_cython_use_vc.bat
e:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\scripts\make_winpython_fix.bat
e:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\scripts\make_winpython_movable.bat
e:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\scripts\make_working_directory_be_not_winpython.bat
e:\WINPYTHON_N1\WPy64-3741\scripts\make_working_directory_be_winpython.bat

do you have detailed description about them ?
