But what is the documented behavior of sys.getsizeof?
Reading...
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.getsizeof
Ah. The following phrase in the documentation seems to apply directly
to your question:
"Only the memory consumption directly attributed to the object is
accounted for, not the memory consumption of objects it refers to."
But the docs there also have a link to a recursive getsizeof() recipe
that does what I think you intend. Take a look at that recipe.
Good luck!
