Hi, I have just compiled python 2.6.5 from sources on ubuntu "hardy" 8.04. I have used a simple script to do everything in one go:
./configure --enable-shared make make install Python is compiled and installed successfully. However the modules(_socket.so, _random.so etc) are two big in terms of file size. They are around 4.5-5.0 mb each. I have used "strip strip-all *.so", but still size is around 1.5 mb each. This is still too big compare to size of modules on ubuntu karmic's pre installed python 2.6.5. Am I missing something here? Do I have to re-configure or re-compile the python again from sources?
