How to compile python into an executable file?

Question

I'd like to know how to compile a .py file into an executable file. I know that python is an interpreted language but i need to make an executable for a machine where i can't install a python interpreter so i'd like to compile it into an executable. So i wonder if there could be a command line to make it (i traditionaly use Makefile for my programming project).

Thank you for reading

installing a python interpreter is equally complicated as installing any other program, including yours; so if you can install your exectable, you can also install python. — umläute
