I don't know of a modern linux distro that doesn't come with python pre-installed.
But that's not the point. What we think of as trivial is hard work to other people. Just look at all the questions here on MobileRead about getting python scripts running. The average Windows user doesn't know they need python installed, and they don't care. They just want it to
work, and work
now. They don't want to go through various steps of installing python and running .py scripts. They find it confusing, scary and oftentimes, they mess it up. I don't know why (or how), but they do.
Wrapping it up as an EXE makes it easier for them, at least a little bit.
