R. David Murray added the comment: I've worked on an application (proprietary, unfortunately) that created a lot of empty dictionaries that only sometimes got populated. It involved sqlalchemy, but I don't remember if the dicts came from sqlalchemy itself or from the code that used it. That application did care about memory, and the shared-key dicts were a big benefit to it.
