The only way that I would know to measure memory would be to measure
the size of the python interpreter using 'top' on *nix or task manager
on windows.

Logically, though, "return (a and [b] or [c])[0]" has to be one
dictionary allocation larger than

if a: return b
else: return c

In the scheme of a program, that's going to be negligible, so I don't
know what about the memory allocation you want to test exactly.
