I very like the "battery included" philosophy of Python but now I have to perform a slim installation with only core features and some other which I'd like to choose one by one.
Is it possible to download Python with only selected modules?
AFAIK it's not possible to download Python with only selected modules, but after an install you can remove everything (read: the libraries) you don't need (never going to use JSON? Gone!, etc).
Get Python without (selected) batteries
