I am trying to run the following code:

#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN #include <Python.h> #include <iostream> int main() { Py_Initialize(); std::wcout << std::endl; std::wstring pyPath = Py_GetPath(); std::wcout << L"Paths: " << pyPath << std::endl; std::wcout << std::endl; std::wstring pyPref = Py_GetExecPrefix(); std::wcout << L"Exec Prefix: " << pyPref << std::endl; PyRun_SimpleString( "print('Hello World from Embedded Python!!!')" ); Py_Finalize(); return 0; } 

And get the following output in my console:

Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Paths: C:\Program Files\Python311;C:\Program Files\Python311\python311_d.zip;C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib;C:\Program Files\Python311\DLLs Exec Prefix: C:\Program Files\Python311 Hello World from Embedded Python!!! 

The question is what should I do to eliminate the "Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>" error? By eliminate I mean to make python to load its libraries correctly.

This is my CMakeLists.txt file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.22) set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20) set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True) set(PROJ_NAME "Test") project(${PROJ_NAME}) include_directories( $ENV{PYTHONPATH}/include ) link_directories( $ENV{PYTHONPATH}/libs ) list(APPEND SRC_LIST src/main.cpp) add_executable(${PROJ_NAME} ${SRC_LIST}) 

And these are the values of the system variables:

PYTHONPATH - C:\Programm Files\Python311 PYTHONHOME - C:\Programm Files\Python311

The C:\Programm Files\Python311 path is also present in the PATH system variable

C:\Programm Files\Python311 is the folder where the python 3.11 is installed

When I run python from CMD, it does not show any errors:

>python --version Python 3.11.0 >python Python 3.11.0 (main, Oct 24 2022, 18:26:48) [MSC v.1933 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> exit();

  • Does this answer your question? How can I troubleshoot Python "Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>" Commented Nov 1, 2022 at 14:42
  • The suggested question is related to MacOS, while I am on windows. It also is not clear how the code in that question is invoked. As for re-installing python I've installed a fresh installation of Python 3.11 right before trying to invoke it from C++ Commented Nov 1, 2022 at 18:13
