I worked out a small code which initializes about 1,000,000 nodes with some
attributes, and saw the memory usage on my linux machine (using 'top'
command). Then just later I averaged out the memory usage per node. I know
this is not the most accurate way but just for estimated value.

How did you measure memory use? Python objects are not very compact, but 1.4KB
per object seems a bit too much (I would expect more about 150-200 bytes/object

Thanks for the other possibilites. I would consider option (2) and (3) to
improve my code.
But out of curiosity, I would still like to know why does an object of a
Python-class consume "so" much of memory (1.4 kb), and this memory usage has
nothing to do with its attributes.
Thanks

Hi,
I am creating a tree data-structure in python; with nodes of the tree
created by a simple class :
class Node :
def __init__(self , other attributes):
# initialise the attributes here!!
But the problem is I am working with a huge tree (millions of nodes); and
each no
