[issue29503] Make embedded-Python detectable

[Andi Bergmeier]

Andi Bergmeier added the comment:

Using the Python API would of course be the preferred way to go.
Sadly that also means that you at minimum have a full compiler and that IMO seems overkill when you only want to build a Python package or a Python test (from the end-user point of view).

The ._pth would be perfect if I could place it alongside the .py script I want to execute.

BTW: Can you please remove PYTHONPATH from the help message and so forth for the embeddable variant. Can be misleading.
