Is it possible to include a python daemon that will shorten startup time and share most stdlib among all the python instances? If extension libraries like pygtk can also be sured in memory, then maybe the total memory usage can be greatly reduced for python gui applications. That will encourage people write more python GUI application without worrying bloatness in memory requirment:
