If you don't need the exact size of the object but roughly to know how big it is, one quick (and dirty) way is to let the program run, sleep for an extended period of time, and check the memory usage (ex: Mac's activity monitor) by this particular python process. This would be effective when you are trying to find the size of one single large object in a python process. For example, I recently wanted to check the memory usage of a new data structure and compare it with that of Python's set data structure. First I wrote the elements (words from a large public domain book) to a set, then checked the size of the process, and then did the same thing with the other data structure. I found out the Python process with a set is taking twice as much memory as the new data structure. Again, you wouldn't be able to exactly say the memory used by the process is equal to the size of the object. As the size of the object gets large, this becomes close as the memory consumed by the rest of the process becomes negligible compared to the size of the object you are trying to monitor.

如果不想包含链接(嵌套)对象的大小，请使用sys.getsizeof()。

然而，如果你想计算嵌套在列表、字典、集、元组中的子对象——通常这就是你要找的——使用如下所示的递归深层sizeof()函数:

import sys
def sizeof(obj):
    size = sys.getsizeof(obj)
    if isinstance(obj, dict): return size + sum(map(sizeof, obj.keys())) + sum(map(sizeof, obj.values()))
    if isinstance(obj, (list, tuple, set, frozenset)): return size + sum(map(sizeof, obj))
    return size

你也可以在漂亮的工具箱中找到这个函数，以及许多其他有用的一行程序:

Pympler包的asizeof模块可以做到这一点。

使用方法如下:

from pympler import asizeof
asizeof.asizeof(my_object)

不像系统。Getsizeof，它适用于你自己创建的对象。它甚至可以与numpy一起工作。

>>> asizeof.asizeof(tuple('bcd'))
200
>>> asizeof.asizeof({'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'bar'})
400
>>> asizeof.asizeof({})
280
>>> asizeof.asizeof({'foo':'bar'})
360
>>> asizeof.asizeof('foo')
40
>>> asizeof.asizeof(Bar())
352
>>> asizeof.asizeof(Bar().__dict__)
280
>>> A = rand(10)
>>> B = rand(10000)
>>> asizeof.asizeof(A)
176
>>> asizeof.asizeof(B)
80096

正如前面提到的,

可以通过设置option code=True来包含类、函数、方法、模块等对象的(字节)代码大小。

如果性能不是问题，最简单的解决方案是pickle和测量:

import pickle

data = ...
len(pickle.dumps(data))

用系统就行了。sys模块中定义的Getsizeof函数。

sys.getsizeof(object[, default]): Return the size of an object in bytes. The object can be any type of object. All built-in objects will return correct results, but this does not have to hold true for third-party extensions as it is implementation specific. Only the memory consumption directly attributed to the object is accounted for, not the memory consumption of objects it refers to. The default argument allows to define a value which will be returned if the object type does not provide means to retrieve the size and would cause a TypeError. getsizeof calls the object’s __sizeof__ method and adds an additional garbage collector overhead if the object is managed by the garbage collector. See recursive sizeof recipe for an example of using getsizeof() recursively to find the size of containers and all their contents.

python 3.0中的用法示例:

>>> import sys
>>> x = 2
>>> sys.getsizeof(x)
24
>>> sys.getsizeof(sys.getsizeof)
32
>>> sys.getsizeof('this')
38
>>> sys.getsizeof('this also')
48

如果你在python < 2.6并且没有sys. exe。Getsizeof可以使用这个扩展模块。但从来没用过。

我用这个技巧…May在小对象上不准确，但我认为对于复杂对象(如pygame surface)比sys.getsizeof()更准确。

import pygame as pg
import os
import psutil
import time


process = psutil.Process(os.getpid())
pg.init()    
vocab = ['hello', 'me', 'you', 'she', 'he', 'they', 'we',
         'should', 'why?', 'necessarily', 'do', 'that']

font = pg.font.SysFont("monospace", 100, True)

dct = {}

newMem = process.memory_info().rss  # don't mind this line
Str = f'store ' + f'Nothing \tsurface use about '.expandtabs(15) + \
      f'0\t bytes'.expandtabs(9)  # don't mind this assignment too

usedMem = process.memory_info().rss

for word in vocab:
    dct[word] = font.render(word, True, pg.Color("#000000"))

    time.sleep(0.1)  # wait a moment

    # get total used memory of this script:
    newMem = process.memory_info().rss
    Str = f'store ' + f'{word}\tsurface use about '.expandtabs(15) + \
          f'{newMem - usedMem}\t bytes'.expandtabs(9)

    print(Str)
    usedMem = newMem

在我的windows 10, python 3.7.3，输出是:

store hello          surface use about 225280    bytes
