It is one of several ways to do that for those who believe that it
is more advantageousd that simply packaging python with the
application. But it is not "the standard way", it is a way.

I actually like that since it helps people get out of thinking that 
way.

Neither is a compiled environment (and py2exe is not a compiler 
either).
But if you want to package Qt or wxPython apps as a single file then 
yes
you need to use a bundling tool like py2exe.
