No it's not, in standalone mode. Even in onefile mode, which is what you're referring to, the contents on the inside are the same as standalone mode, so it's still more than just Python and your source files. It does include the Python interpreter as a library so it can handle calls to `exec()`, but almost all code is unrolled to C and compiled directly.
