Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Here is why using get_referents() is stupid in the general case:
>>> class C: pass ... >>> c = C() >>> gc.get_referents(c) [<class '__main__.C'>] With your method, measuring c's memory consumption also includes the memory consumption of its type object. (and of course this is only a trivial example... one can only imagine what kind of mess it is with a non-trivial object) ---------- _______________________________________ 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
