BitTorrent, probably.

I believe that a very high percentage of users get the BitTorrent apps 
as standalone executables, not as a Python package where one has to go 
download Python first. The ones that do get it as Python source probably 
get it from their Linux/FreeBSD/other distribution where such 
dependencies are also taken care of for them.
