[Tutor] where python is used in real world

[surya k]

I don't understand why python doesn't provide executable files for the source code. 

I am using py2exe for building executables and I found that, it doesn't completely change code into binary but creates dll files and python libraries to run that particular code. This process makes program very large although it isn't.

1. Why doesn't python doesn't offer executable file ? 
2. If one wants to make a commercial software using python, how can he hide the code?
3. However, if one wants to make an open source software, as python doesn't offer executable files, how people make those so as to distribute their products to people?
