Embedding Python into C set up issues

Good morning!
I have been working with Python for the last few months. I have created a script that I want to embed into a C++ environment, specifically CDT for eclipse. I have read the https://docs.python.org/2/extending/index.html and understand the ideas and differences between the two languages.
However, I am having great trouble getting Py_Initialize() to work in the both CDT and Visual Studio 2015. I have as a starting point a simple C program that prints hello world then calls py_initialize and then prints another line of text to the screen. Calling Py_initialize causes the script to exit with exit code 1. I am at a loss as to why this is happening. I have read the documentation about Py_Initialize() calling exit when it should raise an error so I understand it may be difficult to debug this issue.
Here are the details for my system:
Windows 7 64bit running python 2.7.11 using Visual Studio Community Edition 2015.
Python is installed in the default folder of C:\Python27 and is the only copy of python installed.
Path is has C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\DLLs appended to it in that order.
PYTHONPATH is set to C:\python27lib
In visual studio:
C++/Additional Include Directories has C:\Python27\include appended to it
Linker/Additional Library Directories has C:\Python27\libs appended to it
Linker/Additional Dependencies has python27.lib appended to it
Here is the source code:
#include <Python.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("hello world");
Py_Initialize();
printf("hello world please");
}
I feel like I must be missing something, I just don't know what it is. Any documentation or help would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Steven Flolid
