compiling python with unix

I would like to understand what python needs to work on unix.
And to understand how i can make it smalest possible?
I dont understand at all setup.

I searched in python.org and in sources but it is not clear at all for me.

Can python run with a posix C compiler and minix or something like that ?

Thanks

There are probably simple answers to your questions. It
might take a bit of conversation before we understand each
other's language.

Most Unix host nowadays install with Python already present.
Under MacOS and nearly all Linux distributions, for example,
I can type at the command line, and receive responses:
# python
Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> 3 + 8.5 11.5 >>> print("Hello, world.")

Hello, world.
Is that the sort of information you seek? If you prefer,
fr.comp.lang.py thon is also available as a Usenet newsgroup.

I used a lfs 4.0 to build my unix. But is is very fat. I can compile python
from there and play with "Hello World", but i dont uderstand how to choose
what i need and what i dont need to compile it and choose features that
python would be able to do.

For example, can i build python on a minix system?
Why socket module needs threads to compile ?

I search answers to this kind of questions.

Thanks.

I used a lfs 4.0 to build my unix. But is is very fat (250 M). I can compile
python
from there and play with "Hello World",
but i dont uderstand how to choose
what i need and what i dont need to compile python (library needed)
and how to choose features that python would be able to do
(for example if i dont inted to use some modules).

My questions are like :
For example, can i build python on a minix system?
Why socket module needs threads to compile ?

I search answers to this kind of questions.
You may right saying that it is possible that there is simple answers
and i may ununderstand some basic features of how system works
if so give me direction to search, because as i told i looked into python
site
for documentation about this and found nothing.

Thanks.

I've been thinking about what the issues would be in compiling Python into native machine code, and since type information is important in Python, it seems possible that Python code can be compiled into native machine code (albeit with a lot of extra effort).

It would be helpful if the Python Version could be indicated. 2.With 2.6, Python compiles and executes OK but various packages are not compiled, eg sqlite3. 3.Pythonw compiles OK but not sqlite3. 4.Mike Fletcher suggests an approach (http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/)
