Well, you sorta can. As long as you wrote it: * to work in both Python 2 and 3 (no telling what other system's Python will be) * don't use any modules outside

Well, you sorta can. As long as you wrote it: * to work in both Python 2 and 3 (no telling what other system's Python will be) * don't use any modules outside of stdlib (that requires install too) Those aren't always requirements, but they are the reason I reach for compiled languages when I can't control the target environment where the program needs to run (or don't want to).
