USB Flash/External Hard Drive running programs; Question

Heroes don't need super powers!
Basically I was wondering if a USB Flash Drive or an External Hard Drive could have programs installed on it and then run from it on different computers. I did some poking around Google and I'm leaning towards 'no' but I swore it was possible...

In example, this year I'll have an extra computer class that I already took and passed Freshman year. I'm taking it again as a 'free class' because the school technically doesn't allow free hours so I had to take something. I'd be using this time to further my coding knowledge, currently using Python. Is it possible to install a version of Python (or anything) on the USB/External from my home computer and then hook up the USB/External to a school computer and run Python FROM the USB/External?

I could swear it was possible too, but if you're saying no.. You can always install Python in the USB (I'm quite sure you can do that) and copy all of the files to your computer, and when you're done in every lesson, copy it back to the USB so that you don't lose information. Usually, school computers don't allow you to install programs, but I used to play CS in network mode with my classmates two years ago, because we'd just copy the program already installed.
