Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your answer : ) i always have interesting questions : P

about point [2]... if you see my examples, i'm already using
sys.getsizeof()... but sizes are not so accurate, also, I believe that is
the size they take on RAM when loaded by Python and not the full exact size
of the object (specially on Maps that differs quite some).

I will open the ticket then : ) I think it can be very helpful future
feature.

Thanks,
Alex
