Finally, we get to the question of relative size: are function instances larger or smaller than your typical class instance? Again, we don't have to guess, we can use the interpreter to experiment and check our assumptions:

sys.getsizeof() returns only the bare size of the object, not including the size of subobjects. To calculate total size you have to sum sizes of all subobjects recursively. [1] [1] http://bugs.python.org/file31822/gettotalsizeof.py
