Because you are talking about a fixed overhead of a mere 2MB (IIUC), which is moreover shared between all processes using libssl/libcrypto (and chances are these libraries are already loaded by something else on your system - crypto is useful after all - so Python would actually not add anything substantial in that regard). It is IMHO not interesting at all, but still, you are welcome to post an issue about it if you are concerned. On the other hand, we do care about "resource usage" issues when they are about dynamic memory consumption, e.g. reducing the size of objects. Or, of course, memory leaks.

It *is* sorted out. You complained about libssl being linked into the executable and it turned out to be Debian-specific. Just because you think there is some kind of "big picture" problem involved doesn't make it ok to turn this issue into a catch-all for all related issues. > So are you definitely saying/knowing, there is really no such > mentioned optimized module selection (~50% of so modules since > Python2.5 on Debian) somewhere in the Python build files? > (I ask first here to not create unnecessary lots of issues) Let's say that I don't know about such a selection, and neither probably do other core developers on this issue, otherwise they would already have chimed in. There is certainly no such documented or tested thing, anyway, so even if there were I wonder why the Debian people would decide to use it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
