Should I write in python for Windows?
Or, in other words - why is the python under Windows such a shit?
Binary modules to distribute - a pain in the ass. All the programs that I saw under Windows were distributed simply in a bundle a la py2exe. ipython is just wildly flawed, now even Cyrillic does not work for me in it. Unicode in the console does not work so far! In general, it seems that everything is written under Linux and then, with the help of a sledgehammer and mother, it is ported to Windows.
Edit: you screwed up. I'm waiting for an answer point by point.

To answer this question for yourself - just look at what programs for Windows are written in python. The list is on the wiki.
Concerning the console - in Windows console-way does not roll, GUI is necessary. And if you are writing console applications for seasoned users, then it’s almost all the same how you distribute it - if the user fumbles in the console, then the python will install with the necessary modules.
My answer to "is it worth writing in python for Windows": if you don't know (are afraid of) C++ and you need cross-platform, then python is a good choice.
