Embedding Python27 in C++ on Windows: CRT compatibility issues with VS2010?

Hello,

I'm a relative python newbie but I've been tasked to figure out how to
embed calls to a python library in an Excel XLL add-in.

The Python/C API for doing this seems pretty straightforward, but I
seem to have read somewhere online that it's important that the C++
program or DLL linking to and embedding Python must be using the same
CRT as what the Python implementation dll is using. Is this true, or
is the Python API written in such a way that there is no dependency on
a common CRT?

If there is a dependency, does that mean that I cannot use VS2010 to
develop this XLL, but should use VS2008 instead, or are there other
workarounds?

Thanks for the help,
Stephen
