That depends on your definition of "compiled". If you mean that machine 
language can be constructed without any interpreter involved, then the 
answer is no.

If you want a way to make a Python application not depend on an 
installed interpreter, then there are several ways to do this.

This and many more of your questions to come will be answered by the 
Python FAQ, btw: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py
