Technically, no: you have to use the byte-code interpreter to
run programs.  Non-technically, yes: you can make your program
into a single .exe file.

You can bundle up the interpreter with your program and
associated libraries/modules into a single .exe file.  You can
then distribute this file, and the user doesn't know that he's
actually running the python interpreter.
