You can use the struct module to find the size in bytes:
import struct
mylist = [10, 3.7, "hello"]
int_count = 0
float_count = 0
char_count = 0
for elmt in mylist:
if type(elmt) == int:
int_count += 1
elif type(elmt) == float:
float_count += 1
elif type(elmt) == str:
char_count += len(elmt)
format_string = "%di%dd%dc" % (int_count, float_count, char_count)
list_size_in_bytes = struct.calcsize(format_string)
print list_size_in_bytes
--output:--
17
