It is, but like any such approach (Cygwin is similar, in principle if

Windows developers in a bash/Ubuntu style environment leaves them at a
disadvantage when they need to develop for actual Windows
environments.
Moreover, one of the key selling points of Python is that it can
interface with anything and everything found in any environment!
Rather than e.g. conjuring up a closed circle with own replacements for
everything than forces everyone into the lowest common denominator like
Java does.
*That's another key reason why I use & suggest using an installation

It's as close to "being an integral part of the environment rather than
rejecting it and creating an inferior copy" philosophy as one can get.
