getsizeof 関数は、リストのようなコンテナー内のアイテムのサイズを測定しません。個々の要素をすべて追加する必要があります。
これを行うためのレシピを次に示します。
ここに再現:
from __future__ import print_function
from sys import getsizeof, stderr
from itertools import chain
from collections import deque
try:
from reprlib import repr
except ImportError:
pass
def total_size(o, handlers={}, verbose=False):
""" Returns the approximate memory footprint an object and all of its contents.
Automatically finds the contents of the following builtin containers and
their subclasses: tuple, list, deque, dict, set and frozenset.
To search other containers, add handlers to iterate over their contents:
handlers = {SomeContainerClass: iter,
OtherContainerClass: OtherContainerClass.get_elements}
"""
dict_handler = lambda d: chain.from_iterable(d.items())
all_handlers = {tuple: iter,
list: iter,
deque: iter,
dict: dict_handler,
set: iter,
frozenset: iter,
}
all_handlers.update(handlers) # user handlers take precedence
seen = set() # track which object id's have already been seen
default_size = getsizeof(0) # estimate sizeof object without __sizeof__
def sizeof(o):
if id(o) in seen: # do not double count the same object
return 0
seen.add(id(o))
s = getsizeof(o, default_size)
if verbose:
print(s, type(o), repr(o), file=stderr)
for typ, handler in all_handlers.items():
if isinstance(o, typ):
s += sum(map(sizeof, handler(o)))
break
return s
return sizeof(o)
そのレシピを使用してこれをリストで実行すると、違いがわかります。
>>> alist=[[2**99]*10, 'a string', {'one':1}]
>>> print('getsizeof: {}, total_size: {}'.format(getsizeof(alist), total_size(alist)))
getsizeof: 96, total_size: 721
