title: Shipping python runtime with excel
body: <p>According to the xlwings website:-</p>
  
  <p>Easy deployment: The receiver of an xlwings-powered spreadsheets only needs Python with minimal dependencies — or nothing at all when shipped with the Python runtime.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed Anaconda and written some python code and run it from Excel using xlwings</p>
  
  <p>I put this spreadsheet on a different computer than the one I developed on and placed the python.exe and a few dll's that got installed with Anaconda into a directory with the spreadsheet</p>
  
  <p>I added the path to the environment variables so it could find python</p>
  
  <p>The spreadsheet looked like it invoked python but got an overflow error</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to ship the spreadsheet in the leanest possible manner.  I don't really want to have to get all users to install python</p>
  
  <p>Is this approach possible and which files do I need to include?</p>
