Missing --embed in the cythonize command

[Emmanuel Gil Peyrot]

Hi,

The cythonize CLI tool is missing an --embed option which, much like
cython’s option of the same name, would generate a main() function, the
only difference would be that --build wouldn’t generate a shared object
but a normal executable file.

Thank you,

Take a look at bin/cythonrun and Cython.Build.BuildExecutable. The
problem with this is that, while it works for the simple case of a single
file, it's substantially less interesting for anything "real". If
something like this was to be made more visible, I'd expect it to be a
little more versatile.
