Please let me join this thread with a related question.
I've added a project to the MSVC6 workspace for Python 2.3, which
basically does this.  It seems required to define the
Py_NO_ENABLE_SHARED preprocessor flag when compiling this.

Now I have a ~900 kB static python.exe. How can I prevent that this exe
tries to import extension modules from the file system - it always
crashes with a Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (because
it tries to load the normal python23.dll which I have also installed)?
