Description
Is there a reason why the binary bin/python3.10 in latest python 3.10.19 has size 43963640 which is more than 2000 times larger than bin/python3.10 in python 3.10.15 (size 20944)?
```
python = use_extension("@rules_python//python/extensions:python.bzl", "python")
python.toolchain(
is_default = True,
python_version = "3.10.15",
)
```
