Is that really just Python code?? Must be over a million lines, no? I've worked with Odoo, which is a bit of a kitchen-sink (ERP, CRM, POS, sales, accounting, invoice, stock management, manufacturing control, website builder, marketing and a bunch more) and its Python code weighs just 15MB, the rest is JavaScript or data files.

It's not just souce code--it's also docs and test code and other things that are tedious to omit given our current Docker image hierarchy and repository structure. Our docs are largely Sphinx docs in Python docstrings; a decent minifier could probably reduce this, but it's probably not worthwhile for a ~5% improvement on overall image size.
