Actually, some vendors do install Python on Windows machines, but that's vendor-specific rather than platform-specific. More information on such installations can be found in the [[http://www.python.org/doc/faq/installed.html|"Why is Python Installed on my Computer?"]] FAQ.


For Linux, you can use [[Freeze|Freeze]] to make executables. For Windows, you can use [[Py2Exe|Py2Exe]]. The Mac OS equivalent is [[py2app|py2app]].
