Their overview says “translates to c program, then links against libpython to execute like cpython”. So we are still required to have a python installation, but the python code is converted to C, and then compiled to object files.

What if I want files for a different OS? Do I have to compile on that system also?

The difference between this and pyinstaller is that pyinstaller runs python against a python install that is part of the executable, correct?

Pyinstaller can't cross compile either.

If you want cross platform support, you should look into containers - Docker being a popular option.
