Does anyone have an idea of what the following .dll's are for?<br>
Cx_freeze includes them in a Python3.4-PyQt5 deployment adding about<br>
23 Mb to my application. Removing them doesn't appear to make any<br>
difference on my computer, but I hesitate to distribute the<br>
application to others without them. Thanks for any response.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

They are ICU Unicode libraries. They are needed if Qt has been configured with the -icu option (the PyQt5 Windows binary installer does this) or if WebKit is used.<br>
<br>
You can build your own version of Qt without using -icu.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
