I have the list created in 3 different ways and the __sizeof__() method returns different values for each of them:
>>> l1 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> print(l1.__sizeof__())
120
>>> l2 = list(i for i in range(10))
>>> print(l2.__sizeof__())
136
>>> l3 = [i for i in range(10)]
>>> print(l3.__sizeof__())
168
Does the way of creation impacts size calculation? My assumpion is that, the data structures should be the same.
Similar test for tuple returns the same size value:
>>> t1 = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
>>> print(t1.__sizeof__())
104
>>>
>>> t2 = tuple(i for i in range(10))
>>> print(t2.__sizeof__())
104
