Given the size of the Mac/ source directory, in the 2.1.1 source distribution (314 python files, 13 MB uncompressed of platform-specific material; a large amount of Mac-specific modules in the module documentation, would it be possible to move this outside the Python core source distribution ?

This is taking dispk space and consuming CVS cpu time for nothing, for all but a few developpers.

Thanks,

Frederic Giacometti

Actually, it even a lot worse: there are over 1300 files in the Mac directory. Just think of the time CVS spends on them :((

This won't happen. The Mac hierarchy was deliberately introduced into the Python CVS recently to simplify maintenance of the PythonMac port, and it won't be removed just for size reasons.

OTOH, removing specific code because it is not used anymore may be feasible - it just needs somebody to identify these pieces.

The file count is down to 268 not including files under .svn/. Although the size has increased to 17MB. Given the size of disks, etc and the effort involved with changing this, it's not likely to happen.
