One megabyte, eh? Python will _fill_ that up nicely. ;-)
(Actually, we were able to get a limited form down to a few hundred
kilobytes on an embedded device. Testing showed, however, that
even if speed wasn't critical, Python's speed _can_ be too slow
for certain older hardware and we gave it up. For reference, it
was a 33MHz 386-compatible processor...)
