Using pybind11 with pocketpy interpretor

[rhvarrier]

I've built a C++ library that exposes it's API using pybind11 and I'm able to use the library functions from python under Linux. Howeverre, while building the library pybind11 needs to link against a CPython, which is not always possible in some of my build environements (as CPython is not supported by the compiler I'm using).
I came across pockectpy, which is a zero dependecy single file Python interpreter.
Can pybind11 be used with this library instead of CPython, which would allow me to have a fully standalone library with integrated Python interpretor.
I know that pocketpy does not expose all python functionalities but the supported feature are more than enough for my use case

There is an option to build a Pybind11 module independent of the interpreter, see NOPYTHON mode. Whether or not that will be compatible with pocketpy depends on that project and whether it uses the same APIs and semantics as CPython.

Did anyone had any luck with this? I haven't tried it yet, but I would love to replace python with pocketpy in the engine we use here in our studio.

Thanks for your response. I'm in a very similar case, as I'm using pybind11 to add scripting to an application and having pocketpy support in pybind11 will make make my application completely standalone.
