Tim Peters added the comment: Yup, it's definitely more than 8 bytes. In addition to the comments you quoted, an in-memory datetime object also has a full Python object header, a member to cache the hash code, and a byte devoted to saying whether or not a tzinfo member is present.
Guessing Guido was actually thinking about the pickle size - but that's 10 bytes (for a "naive" datetime object). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15443> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
