As I am moving from C# to Python, I was wondering if there is a list of the pre-installed versions of Python on different Operating Systems like Windows, Linux, etc…
There is no such list. However, I think you can safely assume every generic, modern Linux distro will have Python installed (every recent (>2years) with Python 2.5 at least), as well as most Unix SOs (FreeBSD, Solaris etc.). Mac OS X also comes with Python. OTOH you cannot expect it from most Window machines – just a few have Python by default. This usually is no problem, however, because Python is fairly easy to install and, in the end, you can rely on things such as py2exe and cx_freeze.
This is, of course, a rule of thumb, not a really precise answer. Nonetheless, I find that those assumptions make sense enough.
