I'm trying to figure out how can I execute Python code in a C++ program. Where, The C++ program will be a static Executable which will run on systems where python is NOT installed. But it can execute Python code without Python having to be installed on the System it's running on.
I looked onto embedding the python interpreter within my Program. I found this link
Embedding Python in Another Application. But the file Python.h is not found anywhere on my system (Python 3.7). I really need help on this. What can I do to achieve this?

I'm using CLion (2020.2.5) with a mixed project: both C++ and python.
When I load the project from scratch, CLion picks up the CMake files and everything works fine on the C++ side. I get code insights, I can run unit tests etc.
Then I open a python file in my project. CLion suggests I set the python interpreter for the project which I do. Everything on the python side starts working (code insight, unit tests).
But when I do that the C++ side stops working, and I get that warning on every cpp/h file I open:
This file does not belong to any project target, code insight might not work properly
So far the only work around I found is to toggle the python interpreter (to No Interpreter) when I want to do C++.
My goal is to have a python script that I can giving to someone to run on their windows machine that does not have python installed. I do want to package it up in an exe because I want the underlying code to be easily read.
I am updating an old VBscript and I want to mirror it. I am also using a few libraries.
use pyinstaller to package it up to an exe. You can still maintain your source code. Packaging it up wont remove your source code.
I want to put the Python interpreter and all the source files of a fairly large Python application with multiple .py files into an executable Linux file.
Thus when running the application, the Python interpreter will run the Python source code that is embedded into the executable.
Using Python 3.
Is such a thing possible?
Edit: in addition to the selected answer another option is to use Cython.
Sounds like you're looking for a packaging module, like py2exe or cx_Freeze (I prefer the latter). They bundle the interpreter and your files together so that a machine without an installation of Python can run your program.
I have written a python GUI application.I want to run the code on my friend's computer who doesn't have python interpreter in his computer and that he can't download since he can't connect to the internet.How do I make that happen?
Use py2exe (for Windows), py2app (for Mac), or cx_freeze (for Linux) to bundle the Python interpreter, your program, and the standard library into an executable you can use on a machine with no Python at all.
PS: If your friend's computer isn't on the Internet, however you'd get him your program, you can also get him the kits for Python, etc.
py2exe is a library that allows you to compile Python executables for Windows. There's also cx_Freeze, which is cross-platform.
I have a Python DLL already shipped and installed on the end user (guaranteed, and with a known version number).
How can I use this DLL to execute some Python scripts without shipping the Python interpreter (again)?
You'll want to embed Python in another application, and use PyRun_AnyFile*() to run it.
