[hpsdr] Odyssey dsPIC33 RAM usage

[Murray Lang]

Hi David,

Python runs on a lot of platforms for sure, but I think it's safe to say 
that you won't see it running on a dsPIC33. Imagine if, instead of 
dealing itself into the runtime, the GNU Radio Python code generated 
cross-platform C which could then be compiled to do all the work. I'm 
not saying that it *should* do that, just that such a scheme might 
result in code that could run on a wider range of resource-challenged 
platforms.

This isn't a priority for me, just an aside to my rumination on gluing 
SDR functions together.
