I think some of them does require libpython.so/dll to be bundled together. In some cases like pyinstaller [1] you can alternatively choose to embed that DLL file into the final executable; in that case the executable would first extract itself into a temporary folder. The point is that you don't need the full Python installation to run that executable.
