What does that mean to you?

It isn't really "compiled". What all of the Python-to-executable apps do
is bundle up your script, all of its modules, the Python interpreter DLL,
and any DLLs they might need, and shove them in a single file (.zip, in the
py2exe case). The parts get extracted for execution.
The distribution will still contain the .pyc files, and there are tools
that can decompile a .pyc without much trouble.
