How large is a fresh install of Python?

Been looking around, but can't find a hard and fast answer: how large exactly is an install of python, straight from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Edit: currently doing it on a unix system

Solution

  • 232 megabytes for 3.6.1 (this is a local version that is fully functional) on ubuntu 14.04 and created canonically using 

    .configure 
make   
make install

    etc.

    (i.e. the instructions from the python docs)
