   I mean, nothing but the kernel is truly "built-in," but it's right in   
   the repository in every major distro and underlies a large number of   
   fairly core-ish utilities (e.g. Synaptic,) so...more or less, yes?   
   Highly unlikely that you'd find a modern Linux environment outside of   
   (maybe) the embedded space where you *couldn't* run Python programs, if   
   it came to it.
