- Contents of the python2.5-minimal package
- -----------------------------------------
-
- python2.5-minimal consists of a minimum set of modules which may be needed
- for python scripts used during the boot process. If other packages
- are needed in these scripts, don't work around the missing module, but
- file a bug report against this package. The modules in this package
- are:
-
- __builtin__ builtin
- __future__ module
- _codecs builtin
- _random extension
- _socket extension
- _sre builtin
- _struct extension
- _symtable builtin
- _types builtin
- ConfigParser module
- StringIO module
- UserDict module
- cStringIO extension
- array extension
- binascii extension
- compileall module
- copy module
- copy_reg module
- dis module
- errno builtin
- exceptions builtin
- fcntl extension
- fnmatch module
- gc builtin
- getopt module
- glob module
- grp extension
- hashlib module
- imp builtin
- inspect module
- itertools extension
- linecache module
- marshal builtin
- math extension
- md5 module
- opcode module
- operator extension
- optparse module
- os module
- pickle module
- platform module
- popen2 module
- posix builtin
- posixpath module
- pwd builtin
- py_compile module
- random module
- re module
- repr module
- select extension
- sha module
- socket module
- sre module
- sre_compile module
- sre_constants module
- sre_parse module
- stat module
- string module
- strop extension
- struct module
- subprocess module
- sys builtin
- syslog extension
- tempfile module
- textwrap module
- time extension
- token module
- tokenize module
- traceback module
- types module
- unicodedata extension
- warnings module
- zlib extension
-
- Included are as well the codecs and stringprep modules, and the encodings
- modules for all encodings except the multibyte encodings and the bz2 codec.
-
- The following modules are excluded, their import is guarded from the
- importing module (i.e. omit the import of _ssl in socket):
-
- _hashlib hashlib
- os nt ntpath os2 os2emxpath mac macpath
- riscos riscospath riscosenviron
- optparse gettext
- pickle doctest
- platform tempfile
- socket _ssl
- subprocess threading
-
- This list was derived by looking at the modules in the perl-base package,
- then adding python specific "core modules".
-
- TODO's
- ------
-
- - time.strptime cannot be used. The required _strptime module is not
- included in the -minimal package yet. _strptime, locale, _locale and
- calendar have to be added.
-
- - modules used very often in the testsuite: copy, cPickle, operator.
