Yes, that sounds plausible, but I don't recall for sure. I think there's a
build-time option to say you don't want Python at all, but I can't remember
if there was a load-as-needed option.
In any event, the current situation is what it is. What's feasible and
worth doing for the future?
* Hard dependency (as we have right now)
* Dynamically load Python DLL on startup if it exists, or provide a better
error message with instructions
* Dynamically load Python DLL on startup if it exists, otherwise disable
Python-dependent features
* Dynamically load a specific version of the Python DLL if/when needed
* Dynamically load any supported Python DLL if/when needed
