That package is 60MB decompressed, but would be about 40MB if we xz compress libpython3.11.a.
The drawback is that whatever links in libpython has to explicitly copy it out and decompress it first.
The one thing that does this is the python-wasm package. Nothing else does. So that doesn't seem like too much of a loss.
