Measure the Real Size of Any Python Object

  >>> import pysize >>> import sys >>> pysize.get_size([]) 0 >>> sys.getsizeof([]) 72 >>> a = [[],{},()] >>> pysize.get_size(a) 0 >>> sys.getsizeof(a) 96 # probably also wrong? It's cool idea, but needs a bit more work I think.

    Definitely, I'm still not sure it's giving the 100% accurate size in memory, however it is definitely a step up from sys.getsizeof. I've fixed the bug causing the above, thank you for the call out!
