Darn.

I'm hoping to get wxPython working on the Nokia 770, which is pretty 
memory limited (64mb). I was hoping it would be possible to trim down 
memory usage a fair bit by not using some of those modules.

Do you think it's as small as can be?

What about removing wxGrid, maybe wxHtml, or other "large" classes that 
might not be used by a given app?

Is there hope? or should I just give up and buy the new Nokia n800, 
which at least has 128mb?
