No, because I want to work with whatever version of Python the user puts there. Yes, I could search for "python3*.dll" and load the one I find, but I'm writing this in C, and I get a migraine whenever I have to write more than about 15 lines of C code these days :-)
It's not a big deal either way, though. That project turned out to be too much effort to be worth it, so it's now mostly just a proof-of-concept experiment.

:-) Given that my execution model is "run a user-supplied Python script with a user-supplied interpreter" I think any attacker has far easier ways of compromising things than hijacking python3.dll...
