exe application over 40mb

I think it is completely normal. You are distributing all the runtime with your applications.
Visual Basic applications are small, but you need to install VB runtime before. The same thing with Java and .Net, with these you must install a 20 MB to 40 MB runtime to run your applications.
Is true that Python+wxPython+py2exe applications consumes more memory than VB or C++ applications, but a lot less than Java and .Net ones.
Robin has talked about having a Python+wxPython runtime before, but this lead to maintenance problems.
Today computer has a lot of RAM and disk space, so I just enjoy the easy of development and the flexibility that python+wxPython+py2xe give me.

I have the same question. A directory listing of one of my tiny apps (a
frame with a menu and a couple buttons) is as follows:

11/11/2003 05:42p 110,592 <mydll>.dll
11/11/2003 05:43p 94,208 <mydllwrapper>.pyd
30/05/2003 06:12p 847,920 python22.dll
13/11/2003 02:23p 414,112 <my_application>.exe
22/01/2003 09:38p 2,179,072 wxc.pyd
22/01/2003 08:13p 3,186,688 wxmsw240h.dll
27/06/2003 04:13a 61,440 _ctypes.pyd
30/05/2003 06:13p 53,292 _sre.pyd

It is a simple wxPython application run through py2exe, and when fired up
consumes 12MB of memory. Seems like a heck of a lot for the original file
sizes and what it is actually doing.

Is this normal?

BTW - I am only importing the modules I need from wxPython in the
non-gui-centric files, and I do a "from wxPython.wx import *" in the GUI
file, as it was generated by wxGlade.

Thanks,
mark.

How much does it take before py2exe?

the same, always over 40mb (ususally 47mb without any document opened)

Give us a directory listing. As an example here is mine for BitPim
which is a 10MB py2exe (~5MB as an installer). The resources
subdirectory
contains another 2MB of help files, images etc. I use quite a number
of the wx modules (calendar, grid, treelist, help, help, stc):
