I guess the point with MicroPython is that since it can build on all sorts of microcontrollers, a) it has a simpler build system and b) it is definitely statically compiled. But I'm not sure whether it would be applicable here. > I tried typing in "python" to see if it > came with Cygwin, but I got some stupid Windows > store thing come up. Cygwin does have python available. You can select the python packages when installing or install later by running the cygwin's setup.exe. In Windows 10 by default if you don't have any python interpreter installed, Windows 10 will direct to you to the windows store to install Python when you try to run the python interpreter. That is why you saw something about the Windows store. Just by way of explanation. > Ok, I'm assuming that I can run without DLLs > being involved.

There is a basic wiki page from a few years ago on the subject, but light on details: https://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildStatically. The mailing list conversation the page links to is over ten years old. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
