We don't want to grow more than the absolute minimum of datasets. The package is already very large, which is problematic in certain cases. E.g. numpy + scipy still fits in the AWS Lambda limit of 50 MB, but there's not much margin.<span class="m_6499048463547788479gmail-m_-8579182088645485686gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></div></div></div></blockquote><br></span>The biggest subpackage is sparse, and there most of the space is taken by _<a href="http://sparsetools.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so" target="_blank">sparsetools.cpython-35m-x86_6<wbr>4-linux-gnu.so</a> According to size -A -d, the biggest sections are debug. The same goes for the second biggest, special. Can it run without those sections?

That's a lot more gain than I'd realized.
