Whenever Pythonians gather, there is always a call for an executable file.

If you have Dev-C++, embedding Python is quite easy with the free Python Development Pak. Look at this C++ code snippet for more information:

The Python code has to be fed in strings (morsels) to the embedded interpreter, which actually uses a DLL like Python24.dll. I have played around with it, and found for instance that the for loops etc. have to be in one string (interpretable morsel) with a '\n' after the colon and proper indentation included.

For the masochists, this might be one way to create an executable Python file. Come to think of it, you could let a Python program do the nasty detailed work here! You might call it a Python to C++ translator.

Could be fun to experiment with it, start small and grow.
