No. Just the Specific .PY file(s) for that application.
There is no reason to copy the runtime around.

Apart from the obvious Python2-only vs. Python3-only issues.

One strength of Python is that is is *not* compiled. It it easy
and quick to make quick fixes that works a bit like extensions
to DCL without the full compile/link loop.

Just like the .PY or .PYC files.

Or the standard Python runtime that you already have installed.
