If - for any reason - you have X11-Servers, VNC or something similar 
already installed, you could use an Linux/Unix/BSDish (maybe even 
CygWin) Python application server this way.

If you have java on the clients, maybe Jython (aka JPython) is a 
solution, then you only have to distribute the .class / .jar - files.
