Python Equivalent of Matlab's size()

relief when prem at engr.uky.edu (Prem Rachakonda) finally typed:

To my knowledge, there isn't one currently (I take it you mean a
function to say how many bytes a particular object is taking up, I'm
not sure of what Matlab means by "size"). There's a builtin method
proposed in PEP-42 (the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything):
    http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0042.html
so you may see something like this in Python 2.2.

In the meantime, you can get the number of elements in an array with
the "len" function. Won't tell you how many bytes, though.

Hope this helps.
