No, you can write very sophisticated Python apps using just 
the standard library. Equally many Java apps require 3rd party 
libraries. There really is no difference between the two.

But you can wrte an installer that installs the 3rd party libraries 
without compiling the script to an 'exe'. And may 'exe's require 
third party libraries - especially on Windows where  installing 
an exe along with a bunch of DLLs is normal.

They shouldn't need to know about prrogramming to run an 
installer. I think you are confusing an install program with a 
compiler. A good installer will check that Python is installed
(and that it is the minimum version), install the scripts needed
(including modules), install any third party libraries as needed 
(in other words check to see if you can find them first) and 
add things like help files and readme documents. Finally 
it should offer to place an icon/entry in the start menu or desktop
or where-ever is normal for the OS.

But none of that requires the application to be an executable.
