I think adding a default __sizeof__ implementation into object (__basicsize__ + len()*__itemsize__), plus overriding that in subclasses, should do the trick. Not adding the default into object would cause an exception to be raised whenever sys.sizeof checks for __sizeof__, which is fairly expensive. Having to look __sizeof__ up in the class dictionary, and creating an argument list, is still fairly expensive (given that the application we have in mind will apply sizeof to all objects, repeatedly), however, this being a debugging facility, this overhead is probably ok. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2898> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
