Not only that it's basically everywhere, but even if it's not, you can compile it using something like nuitka and still use it.
Huh, why doesn't python just ship this? Managing python installs is annoying as hell.
I would guess mostly because python interpretes are just about everywhere.
Also the binaries compiled with nuitka end up being much bigger in size. A simple script of a few kb can and up in the hundreds of mb when you start compiling the dependencies, so it's not a perfect solution.
This is about python packaging, like making/getting libraries/apps rather than compiling binaries, but it's pretty relevant here:
