Making Sage more modular is on the roadmap and will make what you ask easier in the future, but it's not there yet. Besides removing R and RPy2 as @tmonteil suggests, I don't see any easy targets.

In the same spirit as the suggestion by @tmonteil to consider using SymPy and Jupyter, consider also Paul Masson's MathCell, developed as a lightweight replacement for SageCell to power the website Analytic Physics.

Making Sage more modular is on the roadmap and will make what you ask easier in the future, but it's not there yet. Besides removing R and RPy2 as @tmonteil suggests, I don't see any easy targets.

Below is a list (edited 2018-10-25) of more lightweight software in case SageMath takes too much space for your needs.

In the same spirit as the suggestion by @tmonteil to consider using using

consider also also

or, as suggested by @loveless,

or the recently revived:

  • Python-FLINT (Python bindings for FLINT and Arb), by Fredrik Johansson, who in the announcement of the latest revival, explains that

    The goal is to have a Python wrapper for Flint and Arb that is just a standalone and lightweight Python module, no multi-gigabyte Sage installation required. Also, the user doesn't have to construct parent rings, so the interface is more convenient for quick calculations.
