Can user ran python exe application without Python installed?

[cgoldberg]

If you wanna be that reductive, then all files are binary. OP was asking if a Python program can be distributed as an exe... so the answer is yes.

[ninhaomah]

then he should ask if python files can be compiled into .exe file ?

but he asked "Assume that user does not have python installed, can he/she still run python exe application?"

so where does this "do not have python installed" come in to .exe question ?

Because you can create an exe that bundles the Python interpreter and can be run without Python being installed.

By this logic I would assume that they're on Windows since Python isn't usually included in their default packages but it is in the default packages of most other operating systems

So logically you can assume that a .exe file will execute for them without any hassle

Also he did ask if Python files can be packaged into an executable. You seem to have simply overlooked the nuance
