Count me as one. As someone who does a lot of development in Python, I'm surprised I never heard of that feature either.
Perhaps another reason this feature goes unnoticed is because it still requires the end user to have Python installed. Therefore, when distributing a Python application, most people just bundle it into an EXE/ELF/etc and don't bother looking for other solutions.
