python port

[Fernando Martín]

Hello,

I am a new user of Macports. As an initial test, I have installed the
python26 port and I am a bit surprised that after the installation and
cleaning process (port clean), the opt folder is about 600 MB. Is this
normal?

I have seen that the precompiled distribution file from python.org is
about 20 MB.

Is there any method to reduce the space?

Thanks,

Fernando
