Would you care to precisely define "REAL size" first? Consider: >>> atuple = (1, 2) >>> mylist = [(0, 0), atuple] Should sizeof(mylist) include sizeof(atuple) ? >>> del atuple What about now, when mylist has the only reference to the (1, 2) object that also used to be referred to as atuple? -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" -- Arthur C.
