Cons: What does "full" really mean? Does it require a GUI subsystem, for instance (as a dep of tkinter)? Might just shift the problem. The solution a lot of other Linux distributions use is to have a "python(2|3)-base" package that pulls in just the minimal runtime environment and have the regular "python(2|3)" package gives the full upstream python install. Things like tk bindings and pip tend to be separate packages the normal install depends on. "Minimal", if I understand it correctly, is the python(2|3) executable and any module not needing external dependencies, and "full" is everything upstream provides.
