Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Here is the statistics for all pyc-files (not only in Lib/__pycache__). This includes encoding tables and tests. I count also memory usage for some types (for tuples shared size is estimated upper limit).
type count % size shared % UNICODE 622812 58% 26105085 14885090 57% TUPLE 224214 21% 8184848 3498300 43% STRING 90992 8.4% 6931342 832224 12% INT 52087 4.8% 715400 58666 8.2% CODE 42147 3.9% 2865996 0 0% NONE 39777 3.7% BINARY_FLOAT 3120 0.29% TRUE 2363 0.22% FALSE 1976 0.18% LONG 1012 0.094% ELLIPSIS 528 0.049% BINARY_COMPLEX 465 0.043% FROZENSET 24 0.0022% Total 1081517 100% 44802671 19274280 ~43% Therefore there is a sense to share unicode objects, tuples, and may be bytes objects. Most integers (in range -5..257) already interned. None of code objects can be shared (because code object contains almost unique first line number). Floats, complexes and frozensets unlikely save much of memory. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16475> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
