Including Python as a part of z/OS will offer several advantages, similar to REXX being bundled with z/OS. Python is an extremely versatile programming language with a wide range of applications, from web development to data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and more. By including Python with the base operating system, users can access the language without the need for additional downloads or installations, which may rely on a separate team of people to deploy the software.
