Giovanni Bajo added the comment: Making the standard Windows Python DLL larger is not only a problem of disk size: it will make all packages produced by PyInstaller or py2exe larger, and that means lots of wasted bandwidth.
I see that MvL is still -1 on simply splitting CJK codecs out, and vetos it by asking for a generalization work of insane proportion (a hard-to-define PEP, an entirely new build system for Windows, etc.). I understand (and *agree*) that having a general rule would be a much superior solution, but CJK is already almost 50% of the python.dll, so it *is* already a special case by any means. And special cases like these could be handled with special-case decisions. Thus, I still strongly disagree with MvL and would like CJK be split out of python.dll as soon as possible. I would not really ask this for any other modules but CJK, and understand that further actions would really require a PEP and a new build system for Windows. So, I ask again MvL to soften his position and reconsider the CJK splitting in all its singularity. Please! (in case it's not clear, I would prepare a patch to split CJK out anyday if there were hopes that it gets accepted) ---------- nosy: +giovannibajo __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2066> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
