When linking any windows application with pythoncore built as a static library, such executable will automatically export all python c api functions and generate a static library.
Exporting functions from a static library is a strange behavour, as I am not aware of any reason why dllimport/export should be used when building a static library.
This behavour oncurrs because python's export.h doesn't know when the library is linked as shared or static.
I have attached a patch that should fix this issue.
Tested under Windows 10 + VS2019, a static linkage of Python3 does not produce any library file anymore, and such exports are no longer visible with Dependencies.
I would like to apology if I got any tag wrong, as it's my first issue here.
