No one would want OOTB Python support. You'd be stuck on a version you didn't want to use.

I want it. That way, like code I write in any other language, it’ll run reliably on other people’s machines a few years from now.

I avoid writing python, so I’m usually the “other people” in that sentence.

That's optimistic. What if the system Python gets upgraded? For some reason, Python libraries tend to be super picky about the Python versions they support (not just Python 2 vs 3).
