We can stop at specific types of objects (for example types and modules).

It's why sys.getsizeof() is a low-level tool. We need high-level tool in the
stdlib. Even imperfect recursive counting will be better than confusing for
novices sys.getsizeof().

Yes, I know, and I think it is wrong.
Here is improved version of gettotalsizeof():
def gettotalsizeof(*args, exclude_types=(type, type(sys))):
seen = {}
stack = []
for obj in args:
if id(obj) not in seen:
seen[id(obj)] = obj
stack.append(obj)
sum = 0
while stack:
obj = stack.pop()
sum += sys.getsizeof(obj)
for obj in gc.get_referents(obj):
if id(obj) not in seen and not isinstance(obj, exclude_types):
seen[id(obj)] = obj
stack.append(obj)
return sum
>>> gettotalsizeof(sys)
206575
>>> gettotalsizeof(gc)
2341
>>> gettotalsizeof(sys.getsizeof)
60
>>> gettotalsizeof(gettotalsizeof)
60854
>>> class C: pass
...
>>> gettotalsizeof(C)
805
>>> gettotalsizeof(C())
28
