70MB of the increase was indeed debug information. Since the Linux
distros that I checked ship stripped Python binaries, I've stripped
the Unladen Swallow binaries as well, and while the size increase is
still significant, it's not as large as it once was.
Stripped CPython 2.6.4: 1.3 MB
Stripped CPython 3.1.1: 1.4 MB
Stripped Unladen r1041: 12 MB
A 9x increase is better than a 20x increase, but it's not great,
For downloading and installing for my own use, this would not bother me
too much, especially since I expect you will be able to eliminate more
that you do not need. People who package, say 500K or less of python
code and resource files, using py2exe or whatever, might feel
differently, especially if the time benefit is trivial for the app. If
they can get, if they want, a no-U.S. Windows binary, which you have
apparently now made possible, they should be happy. But I will not
volunteer Martin to make two binaries unless he is able to complete the
automation of the process, or unless someone volunteers to help.
