Nope.  I'm not sure where such a line could be drawn, and I wrote the
darn thing :)   Pyrite is basically a set of interlocking parts, most
of which are meant both for programmers and for the applications they
correspond with.  Also, being a library for an interpreted language,
there is no separation between the code you run and the code you
develop with; a -dev package only makes sense when there is actually
stuff that is only of interest to developers, like headers and static
libraries.

At any rate, Pyrite itself is rather small, only a few hundred kbytes
before all the Python code is compiled.  However, since it is a Python
library, it necessarily brings along python-base and maybe one or two
other things associated with it.  (Likewise, pilot-manager pulls in
perl-tk, which is surprisingly big considering that it doesn't have to
include perl, and consequently that pulls in tk/tcl.)

Sorry, I'm not a Java kind of guy, and I'm busy enough with Pyrite as
it is :)
