It's actually quite simple, just add a bbappend to the python recipe that puts all .py files into the "dbg" or newly created "src" package. Or simply delete all .py files in a do_install_append. Here's an example of the "src" approach: https://github.com/OpenPLi/openpli-oe-core/blob/develop/meta-openpli/recipes-devtools/python/python_2.7.13.bbappend Simply doing this in the bbappend might also work (untested): do_install_append() { find ${D}${libdir}/python${PYTHON_MAJMIN}/ -name '*.py' -remove } Removing the ".py" files roughly cuts the disk space in half. The "src" approach works on any package, and has the advantage that you can still install the source files for debugging and development.
