A++ content. I was in a call with @mkennedy and @pythonbynight this week, where this topic came up again.

We looked, and I thought Django's package size was 200M bigger than it actually is. Django is only 10.9 MB compressed, which is within ~1 MB of SQLAlchemy, which is kind of impressive to think about.

So running the Django ORM doesn't quite have the same mental tax as I have assumed all of these years.

#Django #Python

@webology @mkennedy @pythonbynight Most of that size is the translations. Strip those and Django is tiny.

@carlton @mkennedy @pythonbynight Going off of memory, I think it was 52M uncompressed, which is not bad at all.

🤔 Maybe someone can third-party make importing the ORM an import + one-liner.
