Bug description:

I am trying to embed python inside of an exe where I don't want it inside of the exe's IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE and expected that when loading the python core with LoadLibraryA/W from the Windows API to work out of box just like it does when it is in the IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE.

I suspect the problem might be because the IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE is eventually calling the undocumented and non-exportedLdrpHandleTlsData function and that the LoadLibraryA/W API's might not be calling it but I am not entirely sure.

I even went as far as implementing my own copy of LoadLibraryA/W that does call this function in a creative way and it still does not work and I am not sure why. I expected for the normal LoadLibraryA/W functions to work out of box though without manually implementing the logic behind those functions to test if this was the case.

Why do I want to manually load the python core dll instead of letting the IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE and Windows to load it for me?

This is because I am embedding python and I am doing it with the python core itself inside of it's win32 resource section and then writing it out to disk before attempting to LoadLibraryA/W it. This is so I can then distribute a single standalone exe file that extracts the python core, uses the zip file with the standard library, c extensions (memory loaded), and any site-packages inside of the zip file from within the win32 resource section as well for properly loading up the python interpreter.

All of the logic behind loading the zip file with all of it's contents within the embed exe's win32 resource section works flawlessly when the core dll is in the IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE though. Sadly I doubt manually loading the python core and then injecting the python core dll inside of the currently running process's IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE (to make it use the existing handle from manually loading said dll) via code would work though as I suspect the code behind the IAT parts of the exe in memory is made readonly by the OS.

Línea de trabajo

No se nombran archivos ni pruebas del repositorio. Empieza reproduciendo el fallo exclusivo de Windows cuando la DLL principal de CPython se carga con LoadLibraryA/W; después, compáralo con la carga a través de la IMPORT_ADDRESS_TABLE del ejecutable e investiga el comportamiento sospechado de LdrpHandleTlsData. El trabajo estará terminado cuando se haya identificado por qué falla el módulo encodings y se haya establecido una solución compatible o una limitación clara para este enfoque de embedding.
