[Python-Dev] Reduce memory footprint of Python

Quoting Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org>:

>> If you know that your application uses a lot of memory, it is

>> some bytes to not use all the system memory. On embedded devices,
>> memory is expensive and very limited. Each byte is important :-)

And of those, how many use the linecache module?
