I believe some cellphones and similarly limited devices may go as low as 256k, but I don't think anybody's running Python today on any device with less than a MB (and more likely more). The first PC _I_ owned had 4K of RAM (the cheaper model only had 1K, but I splurged for the big one) -- Sinclair ZX80. But I didn't run Python on it (indeed I soon swapped it for one with very similar HW but Forth instead of Basic, called the "Jupiter Ace": Forth's force has always been the ability to run with incredibly-little memory).
