Wouter Bolsterlee added the comment: as a follow-up note, i also experimented with keeping the actual value as a bytes object instead of an integer, but that does not lead to less memory being used: a 128-bit integer uses less memory than a 16 byte bytes object (presumably because PyBytesObject has a cached hash() field and a trailing null byte).
