More likely would be the option to ship a C compiler with Python written 
in C. For C++ this is way too big, but a pure C compiler can be as small 
as 1MB. tcc has a liberal license, supports many platforms and gives 
reasonable (unoptimized) code. AFAIK Mathworks does that, they ship tcc 
on Windows so that you can build .mex files without installing 
additional software, though they recommend to get a decent compiler for 
performance reasons
