and what Python application is that?  I can think of quite a few applications
written in Python that are widely known, but none of these are distributed as
Python code to end users.

BitTorrent, probably.

I believe that a very high percentage of users get the BitTorrent apps as standalone executables, not as a Python package where one has to go download Python first. The ones that do get it as Python source probably get it from their Linux/FreeBSD/other distribution where such dependencies are also taken care of for them.
