Worth mentioning Jupyter Lite in this context too.

Warning: This link will open a Jupyter notebook in your browser:

It's worked pretty smoothly for me so far. I can't vouch for how it handles big data sets or obscure libraries, but seems like a pretty good starting point for those who are learning Python. It has become how I prefer to share simple notebooks with colleagues too.

But either of these options is nice for dealing with the situation of getting a beginner through the Python installation process. Another is WinPython, which is my preferred environment for local installation.
