I know the .desktop files have become fairly standard, but are these our responsibility or does that rest with the distributions/integrators? (I'm not objecting, but I'm not sure what the right thing really is since Python is an interpreter, not a desktop application.)

The same anal argument could of course be made for every piece of software. Is Emacs a desktop application or a lisp interpreter? Is vim a desktop app? Are games? There is no reason add yet another task to to multiple distributors/integrators (that they won't do) when the problem can be fixed at the source.
