How do I work out what to uninstall? I know witter and FM radio are python (though I have the radio from extras, not testing).

I don't think you'd free up much just by disabling a repository...I can't imagine the little db files taking up that much space.

2.2 Enable extras-testing and extras-devel from app manager and wait app manager to refresh.

you enable devel (after removing python) and install witter from there, and in the process python is also installed, but from devel and not from extras, and then you end up with a non optified python again. (If devel python version is non optified. i actually don't know this)

This will most likely remove some programs. You will see a list of what will be removed and asked to verify. Please note that you might not have the same programs installed as I did. FM Radio, Quicknote and Witter are a couple of python apps that will be removed.
1. disable extras-testing and extras-devel from app manager, and close app manager.
2. in xterm as root:
apt-get remove python
apt-get remove python2.5
apt-get remove python-osso
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean
now you should have much more space.
3. Install FM Radio from extras. A new optified version of python will be installed.
4. Install whatever programs that were removed. They should now use the optified python libraries.
Check with df -h that you see the opt mounts for python added to the list.
Thank you very much for this guide - thought I'd post my results from running through it as it has turned out to be a really useful exercise.
I started with around 19mb free space on root.
I ran the commands and uninstalled everything (including several apps from extras-testing and devel). With those 2 repos still disabled, I had 59.7m free.
I then enabled extras-testing and devel. This took me down to 45.1m.
I ran 11 updates from all repos (no python apps). Was now down to 44.9m.
I reinstalled wiicontrol and mediabox (with 2 new plugins) from extras-devel - both python. Down to 44.4m.
I then disabled the two repos again. Back to 58.5m.
So it appears that just enabling the two "cautionary" repos does reduce space on root by about 10 meg. The new python is certainly being applied to the reinstalled devel apps which is great. I'd imagine that 44.4m itself is enough, but by keeping those repos disable unless I'm dipping, I've practically gained 30meg! So thanks again!
