Golang Embedding Python in Go

Question

I've been reading the articles embedding-python-in-go and the original article packaging-python-code, but I have yet to succeed at running Python.h through cgo.

Can this be done on an m1 mac? if not, should I port everything into a Linux docker container?

what am I missing when setting up this type of project.

below is a simple example from article 1. This leads to the error

./main.go:22:4: could not determine kind of name for C.PyRun_SimpleString

 1 package main
 2 /*
 3  #cgo pkg-config: python3
 #include <Python/Python.h>
 4 */
 5 import "C"
 6
 7 import (
 8   "unsafe"
 9 )
10 
11 func main() {
12
13   pycodeGo := `
14 import sys
15 for path in sys.path:
16   print(path)
17 ` 
18   
19   defer C.Py_Finalize()
20   C.Py_Initialize()
21   pycodeC := C.CString(pycodeGo)
22   defer C.free(unsafe.Pointer(pycodeC))
23   C.PyRun_SimpleString(pycodeC)
24 
25 }

removing lines 20-23 returns error

# command-line-arguments
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

kinda at a lost on the architecture error; m1 issue?

importing python.h on mac is #include <Python/Python.h> instead of #include <Python.h> importing Python.h on mac
