Python compiled modules are too big in size (even after strip)
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?

Regards Prashant Err, the common install on karmic is 2.6.4... IIRC (and probably not) the default was 2.6.2 on hardy Obviously doesn't help where you're finding large sized shared libs, but anyway... Jon. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi Jon, I do have a limited skill sets in c/c++ and also new on linux. I think I am missing some flags or anything when I am compiling python from sources. Still hoping that some one point me out the missing link. Cheers Prashant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

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 way more than it should be. Even if debug mode, most extension modules should be around 100kB or smaller. Am I missing something here? Do I have to re-configure or re-compile the python again from sources? I would suggest to check the compile options gcc gets (look at make output), and try changing them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
