I'm trying to embed Python in my C++ program so users can run their Python scripts (with my python extensions) at runtime, but this requires them to have Python installed and have python27.dll at runtime.

How can I do this without forcing them to install Python2.7?

Alternatively, where does python27.dll look to load Python at runtime? Can I supply the python libraries in my installed directory and have my local copy of python27.dll use them instead of looking for a system-wide installation (which is usually in C:\Python27)

As another option, can I have an entire Python system statically linked to my dll?

Thanks in advance!

  • @ArnavBorborah regarding the 2nd link, is there a similar embedded version for python2.7? i can't seem to see it on its download page. Commented Jan 25, 2018 at 13:58
  • Hmm, there doesn't seem to be one. I went through the releases back to ~3.1, and then the file stops appearing. This appears to be a problem... Commented Jan 25, 2018 at 14:10
  • *3.5, not 3.1. It was introduced in 3.5 Commented Jan 25, 2018 at 14:17
