I was looking for a easy way to know bytes size of arrays and dictionaries object, like
[ [1,2,3], [4,5,6] ] or { 1:{2:2} }
Many topics say to use pylab, for example:
from pylab import *
A = array( [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6] ] )
A.nbytes
24
But, what about dictionaries? I saw lot of answers proposing to use pysize or heapy. An easy answer is given by Torsten Marek in this link: Which Python memory profiler is recommended?, but I haven't a clear interpretation about the output because the number of bytes didn't match.
Pysize seems to be more complicated and I haven't a clear idea about how to use it yet.
Given the simplicity of size calculation that I want to perform (no classes nor complex structures), any idea about a easy way to get a approximate estimation of memory usage of this kind of objects?
Kind regards.
