compilation - Why are Python exe files so large?

Question

I converted an empty Python file to an exe file with the pyinstaller library, and the exe file size was 6.694 MB. Why was the size of the exe file so large even though the Python file was empty and there was no reference to it? really why?

Answer 1

I think it might be part of pythoninstaller, because of the conversion to .exe in that process it might create something in the file that makes it to weight that. Even though is very weird.
