So these are the packages needed just to run Python in Ubuntu. It
doesn't
include the packages required for the kernel, the desktop environment,
the
window manager, the terminal, and whatever else you want running. In my
fairly clean Ubuntu VM (I use it almost exclusively for testing), I
have
close to 1500 packages installed.
As an admittedly stupid comparison, I have 1579 DLLs in my
\windows\system32 directory.
Some number of these have been upgraded by Windows Update. This is XP
Service Pack 3.
I'm not sure if this means that Windows is better because it has more
packages or that it is worse because it's got too many. :)

A package is usually more than one file.

This is all very well, but what is the unladen airspeed velocity of a
swallow in flight? Answers on a postcard please, given that I expect
both direction and speed!
African or European? :-)
