Yes, it is a command line utility. Why does that mean you shouldn't
have a desktop shortcut for it?

I start up a python REPL prompt in a terminal often enough that were I
a windows users, I would probably want a desktop shortcut for it.

It would at least let people know that something got installed and
show them what a Python is. If they don't want/use that shortcut, it's
trivial to delete it.
