Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Proposals like this have been rejected in the past. Memory consumption is an evasive concept. Lists over-allocate space, there are freelists, there are immortal objects, the python memory allocator may hang-on to space thought to be available, the packing and alignment of structures varies across implementations, the system memory allocator may assign much larger chunks than are needed for a single object, and the memory may not be freed back to the system. Because of these issues, it is not that meaningful to say the object x consumes y bytes.
