Reduce distribution size with install-only-stripped builds
Hello! 👋
Since the 20240726 release of python-build-standalone, a new kind of distributions builds are available.
A new install_only_stripped variant is now included in the release (https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/pull/279). These builds are constructed by taking the install_only variant for each platform and stripping any debug symbols. The resulting builds are significantly smaller, especially on Windows and Linux, but omit debugging symbols. The install_only builds continue to preserve such symbols.
=> Smaller binaries with embeded distributions, and smaller downloads 🚀
Some examples:
I will make a related pull-request 🙂
How about using uv as downstream python bootstrapper?
Indeed, I agree to the idea, but currently pyapp also supports regular pip too.. But could be discussed for a future PR I guess
