STINNER Victor added the comment: I'm in favor of allowing to build a "subset" of Python. Not only it makes sense for embedded devices, but in many cases it's even not possible to do otherwise: "full" Python is too big for small devices.
But I would prefer to see a public discussion on python-dev before going into this direction. The previous attempt failed because some core developers were opposed to support officially a "subset of Python". But since this previous discussion (two years ago? longer?), MicroPython became popular, and this implementation of Python has a small subset of the stdlib (but it supports asyncio ;-)) Maybe it's time for a new attempt :-) Oh, and the meanwhile we also made progress on the Android port, which is now an important platform. In short, I would like to official support Python subsets ;-) At least, add options for that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27640> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
