[yocto] Reducing the size of the image by optimizing python

[Abhi Arora]

Thanks your for the suggestion.

>From where I can find out what modules and packages python3-misc downloads and installs? I am new to yocto and Don't know where to look for. I tried grep but didn't help me.

And how about optimization using pyc file? Is it doable?

Take python3-misc out that list as its huge. See if anything breaks, if
