For some people/situations, yes. For others, definitely not. "Batteries included" is still an extremely significant selling point for some users of Python. Anyone contributing to this discussion should be *very* careful not to assume that everyone using Python works in a similar environment to them. For example, many people work in environments where Internet access is tightly controlled one way or another. Not all countries or regions have reliable or widespread internet access. And some people simply need scripts to be easy to run, so "install Python and run this script" is as complex as it can get.
