There are a lot of Linux users who already have python
installed but don't know it.  Python was always a required package for
a RedHat install.  It's not required on some distros, but it's
installed by default and you've got to go out of your way to
de-selected it when you install.

I've found that giving Linux users a single file "executable"
Python script works wonderfully, but it's really only an option
for fairly small applications -- and I don't care if they have
source code.
