Unfortunately, the > result is horribly long, sorry about that. It was delightfull to read. I have some better understanding of what Python setup. Maybe even Python core may adopt some ideas in the future. It that not what Fedora does? :) I used Micropython in Mirobit boards and that Python *is* tiny. Standard Fedora Python is not really that big, but more code on disk (even unused) is always a potential security problem. I sometimes build my own Python without extras like tkinter, curses, or xml. It's super easy and I always get the version I want. I was suprised to see a proposal to remove pyc files. I know they're big and, unless something is constantly using particular module, mostly useless. Python is creating that files during "make install" and every other module does that, during install. Python is faster with them. Compressing data in modules is also nice. While zip is not the best, it's what we have in Python. I'm suprised that this is largest part of Python installation. > Optimization level 2 is already broken. That is a good point. Almost no one uses pure Python. > ### Solution 10: Stop shipping mandatory Python, rewrite dnf to Rust Nooooo.... I just started to work really well. I didn't know about libdnf, sounds interesting. -- Łukasz Posadowski _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
