An executable can be entirely self-contained.

But a program that is in .py form might require a dozen other .py 
modules, and it could make use of any of the Python libraries.

So even if I send you an application as a single .py file, and you don't 
already have Python, you might need to install it first, and 3.1 for 
example seems to comprise 3000 files in 350 directories. A vast, 
sprawling dependency.

So it's tidier to have a program entirely contained within one package 
and which doesn't need an elaborate install. That would mean being able 
to just copy the one file onto a memory stick for example, and just use 
it on another computer as easily as you can with a TXT file.
