Yes, one can create Linux/Unix "exe" files. Unix has "exe" files, too. E.g. /bin/ls is an "exe" file.

You are right, on Unix one seldom needs to build "exe"s for simple scripts, as the shell reads the shebang line ("#!", <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29>) at the top of a script and starts the Python interpreter (or perl, ruby, you name it). So often its enough to simply deliver an archive containing everything. But there may be reasons to not deliver an archive, but a complete, self-contained "exe".
