title: Is it possible to build your own Python embedded distribution from source
body: <p>I'm interested if it's possible to (easily) roll/build/compile my own <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#embedded-distribution" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Python embedded distribution</a> for Windows but with the modules I'm interested in. </p>
  
  <p>I have never liked the tools like PyInstaller, Py2exe, or Cx_Freeze because they often get confused or not work exactly the way I want it to.</p>
  
  <p>I've compiled Python from source before but not in the same way that the Python embedded distribution is released.</p>
  
  <p>I hate having to distribute Python-based tools bundled with the runtime but pip isn't an option for deployment here.</p>
