There are very few tools to debug memory usage of Python programs. I am only aware of 3:

http://guppy-pe.sourceforge.net/#Heapy
http://pysizer.8325.org/
http://www.softwareverify.com/python/memory/feature.html

The first seems like the best bet to integrate into pydev. The second one seems to be dormant, and the last is commercial.

I think providing a nice UI for Heapy would make it a great tool to find out where you program is using lots of memory, and also to find memory leaks.
