My whole impetus for this thread was to minimize the size of Python executables created with py2exe. Right now they tend to be rather large, even for very small applications, as they include a bunch of unutilized Python functionality and/or encodings. It would be nice to see a Python environment structure that is more desktop-application-friendly for applications that distribute the Python environment WITH the application (i.e. using py2exe). Ideally, it would be nice to be able to distribute as minimal amount of the Python runtime environment as possible.
