[gdal-dev] Tkl/Tk files after running script through py2exe

[Rudi von Staden]

Hi all,

I've created a small Python script that reads a set of points from a CSV 
file, calculates the area of the outer hull of the points, and writes 
the result to a text file. I would like to call the script from an 
Access database. Since I can't guarantee that the users will have 
Python, I ran the script through py2exe.

1) The resulting distribution folder includes Tcl/Tk files and folders. 
I can only guess that these are used by GDAL in some way - are they 
required?
2) The package is also surprisingly large for such a simple function - 
nearly 30MB. I suppose that's to be expected, but is there a way to 
bring down the footprint, short of translating to C++?

Thanks,
Rudi
