How about web2py in a VPS using less than 40MB RAM?

You can reduce web2py memory usage by using a newer generation web
server with web2py instead of the internal web server with web2py.

Apache gets trashed in tests by newer generation web servers such as
lightttpd and nginx. Apache also uses far more memory.

The reason is simple. Apache services each request with a thread.
Nginx amd lightttpd service each request with an event model.

I only use lightttpd for static pages and to remap URLs.

This is my memory usage with lighthttpd and web2py from command 'ps
aux'.

resident memory units are in KB
virtual memory units are 1024 byte units

lighttpd: resident memory 3660, virtual memory 59568
python for web2py: resident memory 32816, virtual memory 225824

This is the memory usage of a python console WITHOUT any imports:
resident memory 3580, virtual memory 24316
