I was recently boggling at how a running small python script could take up 30+ MB of RAM. The data it processed was probably < 100kb in total.

You are getting a whole runtime and standard library bundled in. The whole point of python is for quick and dirty scripts because saving you 4 hours is worth more than using 20mb less ram for something that gets run a couple of times.
