Hello,
	I am splitting up the python package into separate core, runtime, and
development packages.  I am playing around with removing the pyo and pyc
compiled files from the core package.

Here is my dilemma:  to do this properly, I need to compile and install the pyc
and pyo files as a post-install script.  the compile flies by, but the install
using installf takes FOREVER (the core package contains roughly 3000 files that
will need to be installed in the package database.)

should I trade the size for the speed of install?
does anyone have a better way to update the package db without using installf?
