python for console game development, memory tracking

[Moosebumps]

When I have time, I am planning to evaluate Python for console game
development (on Playstation 2, GameCube, and Xbox).  Does anyone have any
experience with this?

Pretty much the only resource I have found, and the only thing that makes me
think it might be possible is this:

I would be interested to hear anybody's experience with Python on consoles.

Before I even begin investigating though, there is a major question I have:
How can you track the memory usage of Python?  I would like to be able to
track allocations by function / class, etc.  I have googled and seen a bunch
of threads with 1 guy asking the same exact question that I am, and no
responses, which leads me to believe it's very easy or not possible.  This
would be dealbreaker unfortunately.  But I am optimistic that Python is well
designed so there must be some solution.

thanks,
