There isn't an automatic way through the language afaik. I think allocating memory in order to keep track of how much memory you have allocated can begin to be a problem. And most people just don't care down to each and every byte. :) Some helpful information here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/a7b9f3c03fb49aa/0e793beec82884f0?lnk=gst&q=size+object&rnum=4#0e793beec82884f0 Brett -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
