Of course, this doesn't include the bytecode length, but bytecode is quite compact.

The median length of bytecode strings in Lib/*.py (not counting module top level code, I think) was 52 bytes (~36 instructions) a short while back, if memory serves correctly.

I can't remember why I calculated this...
