Well, my computer tends to run at about 497 to 501 out of 504 MB of RAM used once I start up Gnome, XMMS, and a few Firefox tabs, and I'd prefer not to see things slipping into Swap space if I can avoid it, and the fighter data would be only part of a larger program.
And as I said, learning how to use __slots__ is important enough to hazard a premature guess this time around. If I mess up, the worst that happens is that I have to write down a new variable name in two places instead of one now. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
