I guess the website could be http://www.toolness.com/wp/?p=23#more-23 - > "Python as a Platform". Via Ned Batchelder's notes at http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200803/pycon_2008_notes.html >From the post: "Something that recently occurred to me is that the only operating system that doesn't come with Python pre-installed on it is Windows. While Linux and OS X both view Python as essentially a first-class development platform-i.e., as something that shrink-wrap applications can be built on-Windows does not. Instead, it's generally expected that a Python-based Windows application be "frozen": bundled into a self-contained package that includes a copy of the Python interpreter and whatever libraries it uses, which are private to the particular application. While this ensures that the application will function as expected and not run into 'dependency hell', it also results in a relatively large download-distributing a simple 'Hello World' program is at least a megabyte in size, and makes extending the program's functionality more difficult."
