How much memory does importing PANDAS library take?

## Objective Let us compare the memory consumption of Python PANDAS library. ## Methodology Small script called memtest*.py*: ```

```python

@profile
def a():
    import pandas

if __name__=="__main__":
    a()

```
```

Test it with

```bash
$python -m memory_profiler memtest.py
```

## Results:

Output:
