On my Debian GNU/Linux system I have Python 2.3 installed in /usr/lib/python2.3/ where most Python system files like
/usr/lib/python2.3/gzip.py /usr/lib/python2.3/gzip.pyc /usr/lib/python2.3/gzip.pyo live, besides of course /usr/bin/python2.3 I noticed that all those files come in three "flavours": *.py *.pyc *.pyo Is it possible that only one "flavour" of these files is needed, and I can delete the remaining two, any my Python installation will still work? The whole /usr/lib/python2.3/ directory takes up over 15 MB, deleting two "flavours" would save about 10 MB on my system, and that would help me much as I am trying to fit my system on a 256 MB SD card, to make it quiet (hard disks are noisy). Can I just do cd /usr/lib/python2.3/ && rm -rf *.py && rm -rf *.pyc for example, and everything will still work as before? -- Miernik _________________________ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________/_______________________/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Protect Europe from a legal disaster.
