I know, overhead sucks doesn't it. Python is really abysmal at that;
look how big a single bit is:
>>> sys.getsizeof(1)
14
>>> sys.getsizeof(True)
14
On the flip side, Python gets really awesome at some other things.
Your operating system probably takes an entire CD to distribute, maybe
even a DVD, so that's either 700MB or 4.7GB, give or take. Look how
efficiently Python can represent it:
>>> sys.getsizeof(os)
36
Wow!
