License Question: Embedding Python

Hello.

I want to embed Python in a commercial application (binary only) with
extensions and a scintilla based debugger. The Python License requires that
the copyright and permission notices in the original code appears in
supporting documentation.  Thus, the documentation will include the
following text:
"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided
that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that
copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting
documentation ..."

Could you help me understand how I can satisfy the spirit of the Python
License requirements without comprising the commercial nature of the product
or confusing the copyright of the overall application where we do not give
permission to copy, modified and distribute the overall application?

Thankyou,
Mark.
