Hmm, 64K is *very* small. Unless you do some very heavy hacking you
will need everything from the Parser, Python, Objects and Mac/Python
directories, and there are probably some things in Modules too that
you might theoretically live without but need in practice. I wouldn't
give you much chance of a Python of less that about 200K, but this is
pure guesswork.

Why don't you ask again on the full python-list/comp.lang.python? The
problem isn't mac-specific, I guess...
