There is no need to make it elephant size. Python takes only 14 MB if I am not wrong. Compare 10 GB of VS package in compare with that. nothing. Python enthought edition is something really sweet. For starters, Why does Python not have a build in library to handle images. I don't get this. Why? PIL is great, but it could really need some polish. I think that the last programming language I can remind of that could not handle images, If I am not wrong was QBASIC.
All I hear when I talk to people who own or eork in SW companies is "Python? Isn't that that small scripting language. This will never bring a real application." I am tired of hearing this. Even Microsoft implemented Python. Only because the GUI building I am thinking about of moving to IronPython. But this great comunity holds me bac on CPython. We need better and not out of date libraries and modules. Python was build because of bad experiences of bad programing languages.
