Oil seems to include a bundled copy of CPython. Could you check if we
can remove it and use our Python package instead?
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used by oil have been removed and the build system has been replaced by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.
