I don't normally use Python. When I see something that I'd like to install, and the docs say "written in Python", my heart sinks. I know I'll have to find out how to install multiple dependencies in various packaging systems, all of which will be incompatible (but surely much better) than my system package manager.
I find all of this ironic given that the main gripe people used to have against Common Lisp was "but how do I make a self-contained binary?". Somehow this was never required of Python.
