No "fault" at all.

I think I get it.
But it is not in the feature of CMake to transform a python application
into an autonomous executable.

Then I think you are on your own and CMake will not help you.

I agree that Python wasn't "meant" or design to be easily compilable to native
executable. I guess this is not a "missing feature", this was not
targeted in the first place.
Other scripting languages (like Ocaml) include that feature by design.

This is the appropriate list for CMake questions, now you know that CMake
does not include the feature you need.
