So I'm trying to run a python function through my C++ program in visual studio 2022:

if (SendMessage(download, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0)) {
            Py_Initialize();
            // CODE TO RUN PYTHON FUNCTION
            PyObject* output = PyUnicode_FromString("C:\\Users\\Elliot Scher\\Desktop");
            PyObject* ytlink = PyUnicode_FromString("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9cyeZfLeQc&ab_channel=FIRSTRoboticsCompetition");
            PyObject* pName, * pModule, * pFunc, * pArgs, * pValue;
            pName = PyUnicode_FromString("Downloader.py");
            pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);
            PyErr_Print();
            pFunc = PyObject_GetAttrString(pName, "download");
            pArgs = PyTuple_Pack(2, ytlink, output);
            pValue = PyObject_CallObject(pFunc, pArgs);
            Py_Finalize();
        }

But i'm getting this error which comes from the PyErr_Print call: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_socket'

Here is the Traceback:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_socket'

I've tried modifying the environmental variable PYTHONPATH to be

C:\Users\Elliot Scher\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\DLLs which is where _socket is but it hasn't worked. Has anyone encountered this before and know how to fix it?

c++ python
