appinstaller is not part of the OS. It's from some extras rep.

2. Reinstall python
This one is a bit more work, but gives you around 20Mb.
If you installed a python application (for example FM Radio, Quicknote, Witter) before python was optified, you need to reinstall python.
If you had python installed prior to pymaemo-optify existing, it's likely that if you try to do an 'apt-get upgrade' python is held back. The reason for this is that python now depends on pymaemo-optify, but apt-get upgrade won't install new packages so it is ignored. If you have done an apt-get dist-upgrade since the release of pymaemo-optify, it would have automatically been installed because of the dependency, and your python install will already be optified.
(WARNING: Don't attempt apt-get dist-upgrade unless you really, really, really know what you are doing)

Alright, I did all that and I didn't get more than 3% extra free space (around 3Mb). It did install pyoptify (that wasn't there before) and still didn't install all the stuff that depended on python back (zoutube and pygtkeditor) so those 3% are probably due to that.
Did I do something wrong?
EDIT: I actually realized that I installed the python apps that were uninstalled via apt-get install. Should that make a difference?

Yes. It'll move the following to /opt/pymaemo/*:
/usr/lib/python2.5
/usr/share/pyshared
/usr/lib/pyshared
/usr/share/python-support
/usr/lib/python-support
It will then use mount to bind the old path to the new path. With what it does, there is no possible way python will continue to work unless it moves everything prior to binding old paths to the new.
EDIT: One final point of clarification... The way pymaemo-optify works, once your python install has been optified all files will appear to be in both the old and new locations, but they are really only in the new /opt/pymaemo/ location.

I just tried the following:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install pymaemo-optify
and went from 29.9MB to 45.6MB free on the rootfs. Python apps are still working fine.

Yes. It'll move the following to /opt/pymaemo/*:
/usr/lib/python2.5
/usr/share/pyshared
...
If my device doesn't even have a pymaemo directory under /opt that means my version of python is not optified and the re-install detailed at the top of this topic would free up a nice piece of rootfs space.
Yes?

Is this now the recommended way to do the shift to optified python?
