Hi, I'm trying to port the python interpreter to an AP running OpenWRT with the linux-mips tool chain. I'd like to have the interpreter as small as possible and was wanted see if others in the community had done this and if I could learn from them.
I've gotten fairly far into the cross compilation but not the reduction in size of the interpreter. The scripts I need to run import only the following modules: serial, sys, time, string, cStringIO, and struct. If I only need my interpreter to use these modules how do I compile python for use with only these modules? Would it be possible to get it down to about 300k? or what would be a resonable size achievable given the limited set of modules I have need? Currently I've got a size of 1.3 meg! Thanks for your help. Nic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
