= python-essential -- batteries excluded =

Package name: essential, base? no-batteries, discharged-batteries? Solar Python?


== Package Contents ==
 * Dependencies on essential packages only

 * Same "functionality" as perl-base

 * Should work without /usr ?

 * Does package size matter?


== Package size ==
