I used a lfs 4.0 to build my unix. But is is very fat. I can compile python
from there and play with "Hello World", but i dont uderstand how to choose
what i need and what i dont need to compile it and choose features that
python would be able to do.

For example, can i build python on a minix system?
Why socket module needs threads to compile ?

I search answers to this kind of questions.

Thanks.
