I still think you are overstating it somewhat. Have a website on which you distribute your software to end users (and maybe even--gasp--charge them for it)? *That's* a good reason. And that's one of the top ways that users get software. Also, many programs rely on 2-3 dependencies, and sometimes that is asking a lot of the end user to install. (I know, I know, it shouldn't be...and with things like pip it really shouldn't be, but you know how it goes). I completely agree with you in Ideal World thinking, but in the gnarly one we actually have, .exe files *often* have their place. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
