I know, overhead sucks doesn't it. Python is really abysmal at that;
look how big a single bit is:
sys.getsizeof(1)

sys.getsizeof(True)

On the flip side, Python gets really awesome at some other things.
Your operating system probably takes an entire CD to distribute, maybe
even a DVD, so that's either 700MB or 4.7GB, give or take. Look how
efficiently Python can represent it:
sys.getsizeof(os)

Wow!

Those figures look really good but I actually want figures that do
things my way, even if the figures aren't as good or even suck
completely. Can you help me with this even if I've already asked 42
times before but have always been given the same figures in response?
