How to link statically with python15.lib....

[Mark Hammond]

You cant.  These .lib files are only import libraries for the DLL.  They do
not contain the code, just pointers to the code in the DLL.  Same goes to
Tcl/Tk.

Your only option is to completely rebuild both Python and Tcl/Tk from
sources.  I dont know about Tcl/Tk, but Python does not include any support
for that at all - you will probably need to modify the VC project files etc
to make it work.

I dont really know what you expect to save.  If you ensure you distribute
Python15.dll with your app and place it in the same directory as your app,
you shouldnt have a problem.  And Python being Python, you will have alot of
work ahead to get a true, 1 file installation.  Look at Freeze and the
"Win32 Installer" from Gordon McMillan and see if these better suit your
requirements.
