There is an option at least on linux to hack using ld preload to use another memory manager that respond the way needed... at least that was what I was told today at lunch. (if ulimit is not enough for any reason).

For Python, there would be much less hackish ways. Most if not all calls to memory allocators are channeled through Python API, which could be diverted on source level also.
