I am sorry if I think like this, but sometimes(keyword sometimes) I like distributing my interpreters.
Anyway, I found the absolute minimum libraries needed for Python to work with Win32. And, I included FLTK for the GUI toolkit. Sorry, but wxPython didn't fit my <30MB requirement. You can basically download it and find out what libraries are needed. Some of the core included string.py, stat.py, for example. http://www.newspiritcompany.com/PyLight.zip http://newspiritcompany.com/blog/article/167/python-lightweight-at-2mb-for-win32 -- Ramza from Atlanta http://www.newspiritcompany.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
