Well, get the source from www.python.org. There's a README in the source
tree that will tell you how to build.
If you're using Windows, you'll need Visual Studio 2008. The free
Express Edition of Visual C++ will do.

As for modules: you (should) know which modules your application uses. A
trial-and-error approach should get you to a bare minimum quickly. (You
know, remove everything you don't know is needed, try it out, put back
modules you're missing, repeat)
