New submission from Sworddragon: Using -OO on a script will remove the __doc__ attributes but the docstrings will still be in the process memory. In the attachments is an example script which demonstrates this with a docstring of ~10 MiB (opening the file in an editor can need some time). Calling "python3 -OO test.py" will result in a memory usage of ~16 MiB on my system (Linux 64 Bit) while test.__doc__ is None.
