> what does embed python interpreter mean?

Embedding CPython to script/extend larger applications (much like Lua) is a first-class use case of CPython and well-supported: https://docs.python.org/3/extending/embedding.html.

For instance Civ IV used Python as its scripting language (though I believe Civ V switched to Lua).
