You can use psutil module. It can be installed with sudo pip install psutil

import os, psutil
process = psutil.Process(os.getpid())
print process.memory_info().rss

This is crossplaform method.

If you are looking for a python way to do it:

import os

# obtain the current process id
pid = str(os.getpid())

# read the process system status
status = os.system('cat /proc/' + pid + '/status')

print status

You can just open task manager and look how much ram does it take. I use Ubuntu and it came preinstalled.
