In my experience, when built with the same compiler (gcc 3.3.3) the size of the python library file (libpython2.x.a on unix machines) hasn't changed much between 2.3, 2.4, and current CVS: -rw-r--r-- 1 jepler jepler 950426 Mar 31 21:37 libpython2.3.a -rw-rw-r-- 1 jepler jepler 1002158 Mar 31 21:36 libpython2.4.a -rw-rw-r-- 1 jepler jepler 1001982 Mar 31 21:36 libpython2.5.a
Between Python 2.3 and 2.4, the python.org people switched to a different version of the Microsoft C compiler. Perhaps this is (part of) the explanation. Jeff
