[Python-ideas] Calling python from C completely statically

[Alberto Garcia]

Thank you for your response,

I was thinking on creating that zip file with the content of the Lib folder
and having my c code to download it over the network and have it in memory.
I guess that the zip file should have no compression at all right?

When you say that I need to use the cx_freeze approach what do you mean?
Can you point me to where they do that?

And why changing sys.path again to the executable again? Which part of the
executable?

I'll put my efforts in this.

Thank you
