I have been Out of real pythoning for a while.
My favorite Toolkit is wxpython but It have a huge size due to monolithic nature.
So even with simple app, it swells! I was looking if I can have any size difference with Other GUI toolkit, PyGTK!
Hope someone will answer here
Thanks

It`s about same size,i guess you are talking about packed so it can run as an standalone application.
PyQt is 3-4 mb larger for standalone application.

I have got size down on wxpython quite a lot.
Gui2exe(compressed: 2, optimize: 2 bundle_files: 3)
Delete unnecessary files,so run UPX
Last run Inno setup
For my translate program py-trans(using api off google translate)
Size of setup.exe(one file for windows install) was 3.8mb.
Unpack litte over 5mb.

This is better than uncompressed/unoptimize wxpython that can be 15-20 mb large.

I used to get around 12MB and that is not funny ;)
