I would like to know how much memory is being occupied by a variable.

Let us assume this example:

import numpy as np

t = [np.random.rand(10000) for _ in range(1000)]

How much memory in megabytes is t occupying?

I ran:

sys.getsizeof(array_list)

and I am getting 8856 which seems low for the amount of information contained in t

Best Regards.

>Solution :

from pympler import asizeof
asizeof.asizeof([np.random.rand(10000) for _ in range(1000)])

#output
80120872
