You'll have to rebuild Python to make use of static linkage, of course,
but then: it is certainly possible. The main functionality that you
lose is the ability to load extension modules (.pyd files). Whether
that's a serious loss or not depends on your application - in cases
where you want static linkage, you can often accept not being able
to do dynamic linkage.
