Howdy. It may be that not you but I will melt /F's efforts
to dust, since I might have one or two days of time
to finish my long time ago promised code generator :-)
Well, probably just merging our dust :-)

I have no reason to complain since I didn't do my homework.
Anyway, a partially bloated distribution might be harmful
for Python's reputation. When looking through the whole
source set, there is no bloat anywhere. Everything is
well thought out, and fairly optimized between space and speed.
Well, there is this one module which cries for being replaced,
and which still prevents *me* from moving to Python 1.6 :-)
