Sorry, I missed the context. Couple of thoughts:

(a) I remember reading about Python to C translators 
(b) Freezing python into an executable. It links the python interpreter

Python is going into the system partition (hard disk extension of the
BIOS) if Intel succeeds in making EFI a standard. So you won't pay any
extra disk space overhead.  Look around on developer.intel.com for more.

Pragmatically speaking however, you're better off linking to an existing
pop3 library.
