How would I get the human readable output of __sizeof__. For example:

# No
>>> x.__sizeof__()
16725808

# Yes
>>> x.__sizeof__()
16.7 MB

Why are you using `x.__sizeof__()` directly and not [`sys.getsizeof()`](https://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.getsizeof)? – Martijn Pieters Mar 10 '15 at 19:53

In any case, `object.__sizeof__()` **must** return a size as an integer, not a formatted string. – Martijn Pieters Mar 10 '15 at 19:55
