	The default Mac OS X "distribution" includes Python 2.3 (that's OS X 
10.3 -- I'm not sure about earlier versions, and I suppose OS X 10.4 
will include Python 2.4), and the language is installed on most Linux 
machines.
	As for Windows, it is possible to bundle a Python program and 
interpreter in an EXE file, using a program called py2exe (which is 
what's used for the Windows version of Bittorrent).
