How deluge is packaged for windows?

Question

I recently discovered that deluge- a Torrent client software https://deluge-torrent.org/ is built using python and it is available for windows, linux and Mac. But as per my knowledge unlike c and java programs, python programs can't be turned into executables, so how does they provide .exe installer for windows?

Note- I know libraries like pyinstaller can do this but I doubt that it works for such a big application like deluge.

Answer 1

It uses Bbfreeze & NSIS as detailed in their Github repo:
