--- Comment #13 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- (In reply to flywire from comment #12) > Is the distribution size really such an issue these days? FTR: the full 64-bit Python installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ is around 27.5 MB. I can't directly check the size that Python core takes in our MSI, but compressing content of program/python-core-3.8.12 using 7-zip (using ZIP ultra compression) gives around 6 MB. Not a big deal *IMO* - but there are calls like tdf#97991. My personal take would be - raise a "include get-pip in the distribution", "include bz2 in the distribution", etc. one by one *by bringing the topic to ESC* as the need arises - because each package is indeed an attack surface to consider by the project and to maintain. > An alternative would be to completely remove python and require the user to > install a full system python Just no.
