Python itself isn't large; what likely will happen is a medium-size initial load of python, GTK, Xlib, and a few other regular libraries. That's no different than _any_ other application in C or whatever. Where python differs will be much much smaller reads of < 100k for the python modules that a python app imports. There could be a dozen of those, maybe more. But the reads will likely be an order of magnitude smaller than loading 3MB of libgtk-x11. The core, compressed Python RPM is 6MB, and that includes a lot of documentation too. Dan -- olpc-software mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/olpc-software
