Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org> added the comment:
Since the docstring itself will always be present (attached to the function object), removing a docstring from a co_consts tuple will only save one pointer (8 bytes). Given that, it would appear that (d) uses *more* memory than (b). For the sqlalchemy example: the saving in co_consts is about 1.6k (200 pointers), but an increase in bytecode size of 2.4k. Either way, the difference is a tiny fraction of the total memory used for code objects. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36521> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
