Cython is certainly *not* a Python *implementation*, since it always
uses the CPython runtime (and compiling Cython C files requires
Python.h).

None of the other implementations require Python for actually
compiling or running Python source.

Oh, yes, you can create a stand-alone... wait, a "stand-alone" app.
By embedding the Python runtime (dynamic linking with libpythonX.Y...
maybe static too?  Didn't test, because it's irrelevant for making the
point).
