Thay don't compile to machine code for the host CPU. That's the step that “compiled the same way” refers to above, as not having been considered all that useful. What those tools do – compile to Python virtual machine code, and then bundle that machine code with the virtual machine into a single executable file – is quite useful. -- \ “Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ‘I know, | `\ I'll use regular expressions’.
