Thanks, in advance!
Look at the Python module named ctypes:

A lib file is not executable. It's a *description* of routines and data
that has to be converted by a linker into actual executable code. The
reason it's called a static lib is that once it is converted by the
linker, the actual executable code resides inside the EXE file. So an
application written in C doesn't ship with the lib file either (unless
of course it's a compiler/linker).
What's your actual goal?
