When I download python from the normal sources and install a library via pip install <program>, any resulting exe file in Scripts has an absolute path as the back-reference to "python.exe", i.e.:

Whereas WinPython only has "python.exe" as a back reference:

How did you manage to accomplish this?

See script make-winpython-fix, and make-winpython-movable.

It's my only movability technical contribution over Pierre Raybaut original grand design.

It's roughly a oneliner i think, not hard for you to replicate in julia or something else

Great tip. Many thanks.
If I run make-winpython-movable, I can se that it patches existing EXE.
But does it makes further installation of packages movable or should I run the make-winpython-movable script again for every upgrade/install ?
Thanks for clarifying.

It patches also THE necessary line of pip package
