Where'd my memory go? (was Re: [Python-Dev] Dictionary sparseness) (original) (raw)

Speaking of memory consumption, has the memory footprint of Python changed significantly from 2.2 to 2.3?

I've been toying with the idea of making a small python ever since I compiled Python 1.0 for MS-DOS box with 512Kb of memory. I've scanned at the Palm Python stuff, but I did not have a clear picture if they really did everything possible to make it small, including changing the representation of internal structs, or did they just chop away the complex type, parser, compiler, etc?
