Assuming the stuff in "asma" has no dependency
on the other .py files, it is 35,000 lines of code!

I think I might need a linker from them too. I haven't
seen the output of asma yet.

I would also have a maintenance problem going
that way.

I think other people would like Python to be available
on MVS/380 too, for other projects.

BTW, my Python is a 1.5 MB executable. That is
without optimization and without symbols.
