Yes, you can embed python in any application where you can call functions from a C library. The fact that you are using MFC is not really important for this.
The official python documentation for this is pretty good:
On how to do that: basically you simply call
Py_Initialize();to initialize Python and then do whatever you want to do with it. Before your application exits it’s a good idea to callPy_Finalize();to clean up things.
