No, they will not.

The previous answer by David T. says it all:

in other words, the gnucash windows binary with its current 70MB would have to 
grow even more to contain one complete python binary (and not only its gnucash 
bindings) with the correct version that fits the version that is used by the 
build server to build the python gnucash bindings. Current python installers 
come at 20MB size. We won't do that.

But feel free to provide a build script and/or a separate binary package that 
adds the bindings to an existing gnucash package...
