Can I Distribute VapourSynth Without Python?

[MysteryX]

Quick question. Is it possible to distribute VapourSynth on another computer without also installing the Python Runtimes?

Avisynth doesn't have such dependency -- and in my case, it would mean installing .NET Framework AND Python + FFMPEG and a bunch of other stuff would make a fairly bulky installation. Would prefer to reduce that if possible.

Also SVP is written on Python but doesn't require Python runtimes.

You can run VS in portable mode, without actual python3 installation. Just download desired embeddable python3 release (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.5/python-3.6.5-embed-amd64.zip), extract into certain folder, extract portable VS there, put plugins into .\vapoursynth64\plugins\ and add site-packages path if you need some extra scripts in environment - edit python36._pth for that.
Your application (you also can run vspipe) must start from that folder.

Aren't there also ways to embed prerequisites into the DLL? I could find several tools like pyInstaller but I'm not sure which method is best, and whether it needs to be done at compile-time or can be done afterwards.
