Interesting. I see what you mean. That tip that someone else mentioned, IIRC, in this thread, to import modules inside functions that use them, could cut down startup time, but only if those functions are not called at startup, only later during the program's run. But it would not change the EXE size, I guess.

I wish Python and all other interpreted languages came with a way to build EXEs from the start. It would be great for deployment.
