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
+ does not have to hold true for third-party extensions as it is implementation
specific.
+ 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`.
+
+ func:`getsizeof` calls the object's __sizeof__ method and adds an additional
+ garbage collector overhead if the object is managed by the garbage collector.
