py2exe dll file

[Indigo Moon Man]

The .dll file that py2exe creates to go with the program is huge even for a
small program. Is there any way to possibly optomize the .dll file to make
it smaller?

Which dll? Depending on your program it might have several dlls in the
dist/prog directory.

If size does matter you might want to try upx
(http://upx.sourceforge.net/). With --best it reduced python23.dll
from 952k to 386k and my proram seems to work.

HTH.

Oh, the one I have compiled only produced one (python23.dll) so I didn't
know that.
