(I need the space, but I'm also developing in python and sometimes it's handy to reference python source of the libraries.) That said, if python was split so I could uninstall an rpm package that had all the py files, I might do that. Like I say, it's not worth it on my desktop. But on my laptop with limited HD, there are times when it's necessary to free up a few extra MB to make things fit. As you marvelously deadpan, Fun. -Toshio
