Definitely.
Single file executables aren't really "a thing" on Windows.

Putty is still made available as a single file executable. But, it's
the only one I've seen for a couple decades.
AFAICT, 99.999% of Windows apps are distributed as an .msi file or as
a self-extracting installer (e.g. foobar-1.2.3-setup.exe) file. If
that's what you want to do with your python app, then you can use
cx_freeze et alia. Packagining something for wide distribution can be
a bit a fiddly to get right: you need to know what you're doing, and
you need to do a lot of testing.
But that's true regardless of OS or language.
