Your advice sounds exactly right for someone who is delivering software

someone who was outside the Solaris WOS. So perhaps we're not really
disagreeing, although I can't be sure.
Even then, I'd be reticent to give different advice to customers than we
do internally.
The version of python and the set of libraries that you can import if
you're running /usr/bin/python is not guaranteed.
It chould change during Update 1; as an example.
And Python versions are not always completely compatible (2.4 -> 2.6 or
2.4 -> 2.7 notably).
If they're going to package their software, the best thing they can do
is specify the version of Python the software runs on.
Only in the case that their python script had no imports outside of the
Python core would it be relatively safe to do otherwise and even that
has pitfalls.
