Contents of the python3.11-minimal package
-----------------------------------------

python3.11-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:

Included are as well the codecs and stringprep modules, and the encodings

The following modules are excluded, their import is guarded from the
importing module:

  Used in       Excluded
  ------------  ------------------------------------
  io		_dummy_thread
  os		nt ntpath os2 os2emxpath mac macpath
		riscos riscospath riscosenviron
  optparse	gettext
  pickle	doctest
  subprocess	threading_dummy

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.
