If you use py2exe (or an equivalent), and for that matter use a
proper installer-builder such as InnoSetup, then there will be
no resistance to using a Python application merely because it
requires some of the pywin32 (formerly win32all) stuff. Note
you could also use ctypes (also not part of the core though) which
is quite a bit smaller than pywin32.
If you have a "real" application such that the users might actually
resist using it for such a reason, there's no reason they even
have to know it was done with Python.
