Subject: [PATCH] Add Python 3.8 compatibility

From Python 3.8 and onwards C extensions are no longer
linked to libpython so in order to embed python within
an application the --embed flag needs to be added to
python3-config --libs. A fall back is provided as the
command will error out on previous python versions.
