Python compiled?

[billiejoex]

Hi all. I'm sorry for a noob question like this but I'll try to ask it 
anyway.
One of the greatest problem that may discourage a new user to choose Python 
language is it's interpreted nature.
Another important problem is that no interpreter is installed on Windows 
machine by default and this makes harder to distribute the software.
Does it is planned that, in a far future, Python will implement a form of 
compilation?
This would be awesome.
