Say I have a class A:
class A(object):
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
def __str__(self):
return self.x
And I use sys.getsizeof to see how many bytes instance of A takes:
>>> sys.getsizeof(A(1))
64
>>> sys.getsizeof(A('a'))
64
>>> sys.getsizeof(A('aaa'))
64
As illustrated in the experiment above, the size of an A object is the same no matter what self.x is.
So I wonder how python store an object internally?
