It would hardly make any difference in the size of the spkg files. I don't think worrying about the savings one might get from this (a few k) is worth the energy. One could surely get dozens of megs of savings via other approaches. A whole bug days devoted to "trimming the fat" in Sage would be good (e.g,. speed startup time, shrink sage, etc.) -- William > > -- > John > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
