For python 2.6 and later, sys.getsizeof() will probably do what you want. It relies on objects implementing a __sizeof__() method, so third-party objects may or may not support this, but since you're looking at dicts and lists, you should be all set. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
