co_consts are merged already, but I forget about code attributes other than co_consts.
Duplication ratio is vary by code style, but in case of logging, we can reduce 25% of them.

```
>>> data = open('Lib/logging/__pycache__/__init__.python-310.pyc', 'rb').read()
>>> import marshal
>>> x = []
>>> def walk(c):
...     x.append(c.co_code)
...     x.append(c.co_lnotab)
...     for cc in c.co_consts:
...         if hasattr(cc, 'co_code'):
...             walk(cc)
...
>>> code = marshal.loads(data[16:])
>>> walk(code)
>>> len(x)
336
>>> len(set(x))
249
>>> 249/336
0.7410714285714286

Do you mean sharing values of co_code and co_lnotab between code objects of the same module?

How much memory does this save (in absolute and relative value)? Which functions have the same co_code?

PEP 626 has just been accepted.
Could you please leave this until I have merged in the implementation of PEP 626 which uses a different line number table format

Yes.

> How much memory does this save (in absolute and relative value)?

Maybe 1~3%, but I am not sure. I am more interested in reducing number of objects, because it will reduce import time.
Additionally, co_code is used while executing code. Unlike other cold data (e.g. docstring, annotations), sharing co_code will improve CPU cache utilization.

> Which functions have the same co_code?

For example,

```
# logging/__init__.py

    @property
    def manager(self):
        return self.logger.manager
...
    @property
    def name(self):
        return self.logger.name
```

Such simple functions are very common in OO-style code.

@Mark Shannon

Sure.
