It is much smaller than that, Pyodide is only 2.8mb and the Python stdlib is 2.3mb when zipped

    There is $300k in bounties if you create under 1MB WebAssembly CPython distribution

      will the Python ecosystem feel the need to "tree shake" its way to small bundle sizes? Its easy to eliminate tk and turtle graphics, but if a project uses foo.bar.x its hard to determine if rest of foo can be eliminated. JS kinda solved that problem.

      50k for the 1mb challenge. The rest is to build out the tooling. It looks like they want to run existing ML python libs from within the NEAR blockchain environment.

      Wondering why they don't separate concerns here.

Is that too small or too large in your estimation?

    Wrt web pages supposedly being a couple megabytes it's a big number but at the same time it seems expected with these kind of applications (usually when I see WASM it's a 3D video game)
