Personally, I doubt that you will find a reference. Instead, I assume that the reference comes from the C runtime library. It might hepl optimize memory management to know about "meminfo" details.
You're right. Seems that it's glibc's qsort(). So it seems that any service written in Python (or any other program that uses qsort) needs to be given read access to most of /proc or deal with the (unspecified) consequences of not allowing qsort() to determine the amount of memory in the system.
