Is there a more streamlined process in embedding a Python interpreter, with numpy and scipy libraries, in a macOS application project using XCode? I suppose, to be more specific here, embedding Python, with numpy and scipy libraries, that does not link to any dylibs that are licensed with GPL?
Reason why I ask is that I have noticed that the contents of numpy & scipy's folders in my Python source installation both contain a dylibs folder:
In addition, both libraries indicated in their respective License.txt file that:
This binary distribution of NumPy also bundles the following software:
Name: GCC runtime library Files: .dylibs/* Description: dynamically linked to files compiled with gcc Availability: https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/ License: GPLv3 + runtime exception
This binary distribution of Scipy also bundles the following software:
Name: GCC runtime library Files: .dylibs/* Description: dynamically linked to files compiled with gcc Availability: https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/ License: GPLv3 + runtime exception
While I understand that numpy and scipy are licensed under BSD, the way I am using these libraries entails I have to embed the Python interpreter in my application's bundle. So, I am a bit of a loss, or perhaps I am simply misunderstanding what it means to embed Python in an application. Can anyone shed light on this particular situation?
For additional reference, these are the instructions I have followed for embedding Python in a Cocoa application:

Any input is appreciated. Thank you.
