Applied, thanks!

Oil seems to include a bundled copy of CPython.  Could you check if we
can remove it and use our Python package instead?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

It seems that the CPython bundled with oil is heavily modified.
I've found this old blog post [1] that describes what was modified in 
the bundled CPython. Apparently, those parts of CPython that are not 
used by oil have been removed and the build system has been replaced by 
a custom one. This will probably make it quite complicated to replace 
the bundled CPython with ours.

Kind regards,

Makes sense.  Perhaps we can add a comment explaining this, for our
future selves wondering about it.

Thanks for exlaining,
Ludo’.
