Correct, but for the wrong reasons.

Py2Exe & Installer do not necessarily prevent the user from 
editing the .py files.  Any text editor can open and edit the 
.py files.

They "hide" the .py files, and thus can make it harder to modify
the files.

I agree.  Two different issues.

Those installers also should have some depency management features.
