At least users of wide builds will see a decrease in memory use: $ cat strxfrm_getsize.py import locale import sys print("maxunicode:", sys.maxunicode) locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8") words = [ 'noël', 'noir', 'nœud', 'noduleux', 'noétique', 'noèse', 'noirâtre'] print("total size of original strings:", sum(sys.getsizeof(s) for s in words)) print( "total size of transformed strings:", sum(sys.getsizeof(locale.strxfrm(s)) for s in words)) $ python3.2 strxfrm_getsize.py maxunicode: 1114111 total size of original strings: 584 total size of transformed strings: 980 $ python3.3 strxfrm_getsize.py maxunicode: 1114111 total size of original strings: 509 total size of transformed strings: 483 The situation is more complex than you suppose -- you need less dogma and more experiments ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
