Not sure if I should start a new thread or not, but since this is closely related, I'll just leave it as is.

I would like to investigate how much memory is used by Python objects. My motive is 98% pure intellectual curiosity and 2% optimization. I wonder whether I can do something like this: obj = something() bytes_used = sizeof(obj) (obviously there is no built-in function sizeof... wait, let me check... nope, not a built-in) I've read the docs for gc and pdb and nothing stands out to me as doing anything like this. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
