How big of a problem is it for Python that when a non-technical Ubuntu user searches App Center for "python" they don't find the Python.org interpreter at all? (But do find other random packages.)
The python.org downloads page for Linux users just links to the source code downloads, which is less than ideal for non-technical users who just want to write some scripts.
