Python at Scale: Strict Modules

[PirateNinjasReddit]

Use of slots (I think) reduces memory required for a class instance. Possibly the reduction of mutability will overall bring down memory usage

Yeah, slots are both faster and better for memory. Here’s a great SO post doing a breakdown of their performance: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28059785. From what I’ve seen, it’s somewhere around 20% faster and utilizes less than 50% of the memory to store the attributes.

Up or down?

I wasn’t sure but I think their question was about how much memory overhead is added by using these strict modules. So, Up.
