In simple words: the majority of applications you use on your computer are standalone, compiled programms (i.e. Firefox browser) that basically do not require anything else except the operation system.
Python programs are basically just scripts - text files with instructions inside. To make them work you need to have an interpreter on your computer. Every time you run a python script, you actually run a python interpreter with your script as a list of commands to this interpreter.
