Yes, it's a lot of code, but it's code written by other people (Python,
Tkinter). Using Tkinter your program will probably be quite short, even
if you use some dbase.
If the data to be entered is simple and textual you can even think
about using a text only interface. The resulting program will be really
simple, and probably good enough.
2+ MB is the size of the executable package you need to give people to
install Python + some libs + your program.
