Installing python has never been a problem on most *nix. Since Windows doesn't have an official package manager you have to download it. If you are a software developer you probably have python 2.7 installed. Something that has been discussed over and over without any agreement, IMHO you shouldn't build your dependencies on production. We pre-built our deps in CI(which match the target distribution and arch) before running tests and we send the pkg ready to run.
