Hello Tim, thank you for asking
> What is the point? Installing a package does not mean you are required to use all of it. The points are: - Reduce vulnerability. The MFC library is large and (earlier? versions) contained CVE's. - Reduce maintenance cost. By shipping less, you need to observe less, and patch less. - Reduce resources. Less size mean less disk space and less network bandwidth. Then you wrote > If you ship a package that doesn’t need the UI components, then your package will not include the components. This is my goal. I don't get what you refer to with "package". Currently, `pip install pywin32` will include the UI components, even if they are not needed.
