Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Well, I do think that it's not very important to make __sizeof__ strictly exact according to some specification. I'm also not sure we want to complicate maintenance when the calculation becomes tedious or difficult.
To me __sizeof__ is mostly an educational tool which gives a hint at the memory impact of an object, but cannot really convey a precise information except for trivial atomic types. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15490> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
