I have a silly question: Can *VERY* large script cause memory overflow if python load all the entire script file into memory?

Yes, but (didn't you expect that?) it loads imported files when it
first executes an import statement for them. Future import statements
will just get a reference to the loaded module, and won't reload
it.
