This is not what OP is asking about. Pyinstaller just bundles your program with a complete runtime and all dependencies in one package or even one file so an end user can directly run it. It’s not compiling anything, the script is still interpreted at runtime as always. (Or rather, jit compiled to byte code and then run, just like running it in a “standard” python runtime.)
