How to measure the memory footprint of importing pandas?
<p>I am running Python on a low memory system.</p>

<p>I want to know whether or not importing pandas will increase memory usage significantly.</p>

<p>At present I just want to import pandas so that I can use the date_range function.</p>

<p>You may also want to use a Memory Profiler to get an idea of how much memory is allocated to your Pandas objects. There are several Python Memory Profilers you can use (a simple Google search can give you an idea). PySizer is one that I used a while ago.</p>
