While I wouldn't say its the best environment I don't think its
fair to say Windows is "a bad environment for Python". Any
experienced Windows programmer will find it much easier to use Python on 
Windows than to learn a whole new OS and development environment.

And if they use the ActiveState version of Python (or IronPython)
they should feel quite at home.

OTOH If they already know Linux and have a choice then I'd agree
*nix is a better match. But modern Windows (post Win2k say) is not
so bad that you need a new OS. IMHO at least.

[ And for context, I run Linux on my main desktop, MacOS on my
laptop, and Windows 8.1 on a second desktop - used mainly for 
photography/video processing. And I use Python on all 3 of them)
