> I'm surprised Python is on that list.

I mostly mentioned it because it is pre-installed on some (linux) systems. Though of course if you're trying to obfuscate the sourcecode you need to bundle an interpreter with the code anyway.

But it has historically been used for big programs, and there are well established methods for bundling python programs into executables.
