We are a python shop here and often interface our C/C++/Fortran libs via
python for a 'smoother driving experience'.

If I was to point to python - it would be to the stock anaconda
distribution - http://continuum.io/downloads
Mainly for the 'works out of the box with binaries' so more likely to
work on a 'users' target machine without much effort. It also packages
some 'common' python libs
http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/pkg-docs.html

Personally - I have other views on python packaging but for the 'easy
redistribution' purposes - this is the clear winner. (already has gdal,
hdf, netcdf libs etc)

Regards
Terry
