The thing is, "Total size" is generally meaningless. It can include things such as the object's type, or anything transitively referenced by the object, such as modules. > It will be better to add gettotalsizeof() to the stdlib (or add an > optional parameter to sys.getsizeof() for recursive counting). This patch has *nothing* to do with recursive counting. It counts the internal arrays of itertools.tee() as part of its memory size, which is reasonable and expected. It does *not* count memory recursively: it doesn't count the size of the itertools.tee()'s cached objects, for example. Recursive counting doesn't make sense with Python. Where do you stop counting? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19048> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
