I'm trying to get TinyCore to boot as fast as possible on a Raspberry Pi. To that end I've changed onboot.lst to only contain python. I was surprised to see that python depends on a whole lot of other packages, however, such as sqlite3, tk, tcl, Xorg-7.6-lib, fontconfig, ...
Why does python depend on all these graphics related libraries? Is there any way to work around these dependencies? I'm running the Pi headless so I don't need anything related to graphics.
Thanks!
