well... The Alpine Linux base system is 6MB excluding kernel. I offer
to spend a day or so to save 700kb by getting rid of bash.

and now you want pull in python that is at least 36MB + its
dependencies... :)

I'd rather see Lua, which is even smaller than bash. It's not python
but you get pretty much bang for the bucks.
