OSX ships with a Python installation, so every Mac has Python.

I guess you mean that you have installed a newer Python installation?
Try creating a plain text file called hello.py and putting the
following text in it:

    print('hello world')
    raw_input('Press any key to continue')

If you can run that program with the launcher then you're in business.
