Try getsizeof("".join(data))
General advice:
- You have been recommended (by Chris??) that you should use a database
- You say you cant use a database (for whatever reason)
Now the fact is you NEED database (functionality)
How to escape this catch-22 situation?
In computer science its called somewhat sardonically "Greenspun's 10th rule"
And the best way out is to
1 isolate those aspects of database functionality you need
2 temporarily forget about your original problem and implement the dbms
(subset of) DBMS functionality you need
3 Use 2 above to implement 1
