how to get memory info from python?

[Andy C]

I posted a similar question awhile back but have not been able to get any
info.  I wanted to see if Python could be embedded in game consoles -- but
the lack of memory info is a dealbreaker.  If you look in google there are a
lot of people asking this same question with no info!
