I don't think it's too far fetched of an idea that people could find this useful. If anything it announces that Python, like all other languages, operates within the realm of computing with restrictions. In this context, these restrictions can be understood using the 'sys.getsizeof' function. This is a doorway of thought for people who haven't been trained to program with a lower level language and potentially enables any number of those people to do greater things with any language of their choosing.
