You could change the Python project to produce a .lib, not a .dll (the
python21.lib is just an import lib so your program knows it has to load
python21.dll).

But other extension modules will not work because they want access the
Python runtime through the DLL. So all the modules in <python dir>\DLLs
can't be imported. Of course you could add that code to your static
python21.lib as well.
