Answer 1

Even if explicitly stated that the embeddable version of Python does not support Pip, it is possible with care. You need to:

1. Download and unzip Python embeddable zip file.

2. In the file python39._pth or similar, uncomment the import command. Result should look similar to this:

   python39.zip
   .
   import site
   

3. Download get-pip.py to the Python install folder

4. Run get-pip.py. this installs Pip into the Scripts directory:

   python get-pip.py
   

5. Run Pip directly from command line as Pip is a executable program (this example is to install Pandas):

   .\Scripts\pip install pandas
