A minimal hello world with Python 3 required 7MB. But it's not optimized.

Unlike pyinstaller, we don't scan import to try reducing the distribution on the phone. Instead we have a blacklist.txt which you can put file pattern to exclude during packaging. I remember for one app in Python 2 to reduce the size around the 5MB.

We won't be able to reduce much more, as Python interpreter is embedded. We also don't want to adopt an approach like Qt where Qt binaries can be shared for all Qt-application, which break the all-in-one APK, open some potential issues, and add more work to manage dependencies.
