I study computer science in byu.edu, we choose the 3.4.3 vision. No matter which kind of computers or windows, I needed to download it from Microsoft store. Now I can download it directly from python.org

Subject: unable to run the basic Embedded Python example

I cannot get the simple program
https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html#very-high-level-embedding
to work.

My environment:
* Windows 10
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2019
* Qt Creator 10.0.1 (only as an IDE)
* Python not installed

This is what I did:

1. I downloaded https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.4/Python-3.11.4.tgz

2. I extracted Python-3.11.4.tgz into C:\temp\Python-3.11.4

3. I opened the "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" which comes
with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019

4. In "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019":

5. I copied the example
https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html#very-high-level-embedding,
unchanged, to 'C:\temp\embedded_python\main.c'.

6. I created Qt Creator project file 'C:\temp\embedded_python\
embedded_python.pro':

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = embedded_python
SOURCES += main.c
PYTHON_DIR = C:/temp/Python-3.11.4
INCLUDEPATH += $${PYTHON_DIR}/Include
INCLUDEPATH += $${PYTHON_DIR}/PC
LIBS += $${PYTHON_DIR}/PCbuild/amd64/python311_d.lib

7. I built the project:

8. So far, so good. Next, I tried to run embedded_python.exe. In order for
the Python DLL to be available:
8a. I closed Qt Creator.
8b. In the Control Panel, "System", "Advanced system settings", tab
"Advanced", "Environment Variables...", I added
'C:\temp\Python-3.11.4\PCbuild\amd64' to variable 'Path' under "User
variables for dave".
8c. I restarted Qt Creator.

9. And now, when I ran embedded_python.exe:

Forgot to try it or not in an Apple computer, but there?s one or two apple computers in my home when I just began to learn computer science. I should try it. Because I remembered clearly, I tried it on others.

Hi Dave,

I can tell you where the error comes from, but I don't know how to fix
it correctly:

Python consists of the DLL that you have lined it with plus a large
number of files (standard library) which contain, e.g., the encoding
data and builtin functions etc. It needs to find these in order to run.
You could set PYTHONHOME as an environment variable to point to that
folder. If you don't use the regular Pyton installer, then you need to
install these files yourself. Maybe there is also a way to set it from
the C code.
