Package size

[ypnos]

Hi,

I am wondering what makes the package considerable big as compared to others. I found that the compiled library is rather big:

4.6M picows.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

The file command reveals that it contains debug info:

picows.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=4b71757903f2a8d77efd4b62cf5b17549eaca124, with debug_info, not stripped

When calling strip, file size gets down considerably:

553K picows.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Is there a reason why debug symbols are contained in the file?

Thank you!

No, no reason, I wasn't even paying attention to the size, nice find!
I will strip it

As there wasn't a release in the meantime, I wonder, if we could have a release, as I am eager to get the smaller package size :)

yes, there was some other issue that I wanted to fix but didn't have time. I'll release this weekend anyway
