IPython is huge: 15,5 Mo without any extras.

Python is 150mo. Hard to justify that 10% of the lines of code, source of bugs and maintenance only go to the shell.

I am curious about your suffixes.

I mean, I understand the post fine, but I have never seen the units (Mo, mo) before and am wondering where they came from.

I would guess mo is megabytes(megaoctets?) and Mo is gigabytes(is ipython really 15GB? yikes)

I think I remember seeing something about MB=Mo in french, the casing is probably safe to ignore in the gp as ipython is definitely not 15gb

Looks like it’s octets: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing)

OT, but I love your newsletter!

Didn’t notice your username until you wrote “French”

That's lovely to hear.

It's great hearing it in general, but given the HN community is picky, it feels even better.
