A deployed Python distribution generally has .pyc files for all of the
standard library. I don't think people want to lose the ability to
call help(), and unless I'm misunderstanding, that requires
docstrings. So this will mean twice as many files and twice as many
file-open calls to import from the standard library. What will be the
impact on startup time?
What about instead of separate files turning the single file into a
pseudo-zip file containing all of the proposed files, and provide a
simple tool for removing whatever parts you don't want?
-O and -OO already do some trimming; perhaps going that route instead of having
multiple files would be better.
