Raymond Hettinger added the comment: FWIW, I think the current wording is fine and do not want to start an unnecessary misadventure of finding every place we say size and replacing it with length. In general, we use either term almost interchangeable (i.e. the size of dictionary is determined by "len(d)").
The name of sys.getsizeof() may not have been apt, but it seems to have caused no confusion in practice. We do appreciate the suggestion, but will respectfully decline. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28798> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
