This isn't a question about GUIs, but about making a program executable.
You'll probably get better search results if you omit GUI-specific terms
entirely, and search for “making python executable” or similar.

The short answer is: Yes, to run a Python program requires a Python
interpreter installed.

The longer answer is: Yes, but that Python interpreter can be bundled
with the program so the user is unaware they have Python installed.
