Python devop is usually required to master a superset of the following: virtualenv, pip, pyenv, uwsgi, gunicorn, mod_wsgi, docker, docker-compose, fabric, buildout, pythonz, conda. Desktop software? Better ship your own interpreter, trust me. Typical Go deployment script: scp your_fucking_static_binary your_server: Ok, it's a little bit oversimplified but I'm one of those who knows about buildout, I'm vulnerable.
