I start by stripping off all documentation in Docs/, the Lib/test directory with unit tests, the Tools/ directory with optional stuff and all Windows related code in PC/, PCBuild and PCBuild8. Optional components like bsddb, tk and curses take up some space, too. Last but not least you can put all .py and .pyc files in a zip file. The file must be called "/usr/local/lib/python25.zip" if sys.prefix is equal to "/usr/local". Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
