While Python is largely written in C, many parts of the codebase are +generated from Python scripts, which only increases as Python matured over time. + +We begin with Python 2.0.1, which has minimal generated code, most of which can +be removed.

The +first version is insufficient to run the Lib/{keyword,token,symbol} scripts, so +those continue to use the C versions. + +Precompiled Python code at this point is highly unreproducible, so it is +deleted (JIT compiled instead).
