I finally got 'round to installing Python 2.4. I'm planning on using Python for downloadable software, where every kilobyte counts and smaller is definitely better. Imagine my surprise when I looked up python24.dll and found SWEET JUMPING CHRISTMAS it's ballooned up to 1.8MB!
This isn't a deal-killer outright. But python23.dll is 1.0MB, svelte by comparison. Can someone tell me what made it 80% larger? Also, how much would I be able to trim away if I recompiled it myself? Is a lot of it native implementations of Python libraries that I might not care about including, or is it all fundamental VM stuff that couldn't possibly be removed?
