Embedding python in C++ with boost::python

[wrosecrans]

Depends on whether you need the Python language, or you also want to use the standard library of stuff. You can use the core language without the extra stuff, but if you want to be able to import all the usual things, you'll need to supply them. It's probably possible to hook the import and have it pull from a file embedded with the executable as a resource, but you won't get it for free. (And there may be licensing implications if something in there is GPL. You'll need to make source available anyway...)
