It will use whatever memory it is permitted to use.
Consider that every time you call a method, a new method-wrapper object is
dynamically created, and almost always immediately deleted when the call
returns. So even a very simple, seemingly well-behaved Python script, if
running for long enough, would consume more and more memory if it were not
for reference-counting.
