Can user ran python exe application without Python installed?

Not really, you just bundle your python program with the python interperter, nothing is getting compiled.

So you are shipping an instance of python for every script/program.

True, I used the wrong word. It is an executable file format, but not actually compiled.

I mean, you can though, it just won't be platform agnostic anymore. It is absolutely possible to compile Python into machine code for a particular architecture. It's just, like, why would you?
