Description

e.g.
| MacOS: | /opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.12/3.12.3/Frameworks/Python.framework |
| Windows: | C:\Users\cs\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python312.dll |
| Linux: | libpython3.11.so |
On Windows you may need to call Process.SetDllDirectory function to tell Windows where to find dependencies for the python DLL.
On Linux if you get the error wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 if you try to load a 32-bit library into a 64-bit application. You may also get errors about version GLIBC_2.25 or similar if your libc library on the Linux installation isn't new enough for the loaded library.
