Er, what? How are you generating your standalone executables? What
size is "acceptable"? python24.dll is only 1.8M -- surely on any
non-embedded platform these days 1.8M isn't worth bothering about.
And since you mention wx (all of another 4.8M) I'd guess we're
talking about desktop applications. Who's going to notice if your
executable is a couple of M slimmer?
