Nobody forces you to do anything. Python is open source, and the source 
code is freely available. Feel free to hand-optimize your Python 
installation, selecting carefully each and every module, class, and 
function in the standard library so that only the ones you absolutely 
know you will need to use are installed, using your godlike powers of 
precognition to foresee exactly what you need in seventeen months from 
now and what is "crap" that you will never need.

Good luck with that. I look forward to hearing about the results.
