Hello python-dev! I'm a Python programmer, but this is the first time I'm posting on python-dev, and I am not familiar at all with how the Python implementation works -- so this post may be way off.
I've recently released a Python application, PythonTurtle<http://pythonturtle.com>, which is packaged using py2exe and InnoSetup. Due to the fact that my program needs to give the user a full Python shell, I've made py2exe package the entire Python standard library with my application. What I've noticed when I did that is that Tkinter has *a lot* of files. This is a bit inconvenient for several reasons, the main one being that the installer for PythonTurtle takes a long time to copy all of those little files. (I think the reason for the slowness is not the weight of the files, but the fact that there are so many of them.) There are also other reasons why it's annoying: Ohloh thinks my project is "Mostly written in Tcl," and git-gui gave me trouble for trying to commit so many files. Do you think it will be a good thing to package all of these Tkinter files into one big file (or several big files)? Best Wishes, Ram Rachum.
