I think in some cases it could save quite a lot more than 100k when
you consider that the module you include to get a single function,
then may include 3 modules for other functions you don't need, and
they in turn do the same.
After looking into it some, I agree it's probably not worth the
effort. Pythons pickle, shelve, and marshal functions don't work on
most module objects, so it's pretty much a dead end.
It would need be doable in a simple and general way to be worth while.
Thanks anyways,
Ron
