I don't think so.
What you consider "code" isn't usually just code: there are functions,  
classes, instances, constants, modules, docstrings... a myriad of objects.  
You can't share objects between processes.

Although true code objects are immutable and *could* be shared (with a lot  
of work), I don't think code objects actually could take so much memory as  
to be a problem.
