title: How to get the size of a python object in bytes on Google AppEngine?
body: <p>I need to compute the sizes of some python objects, so I can break them up and store them in memcache without hitting size limits.</p>
  
  <p>'<strong>sizeof</strong>()' doesn't seem to be present on python objects in the GAE environment and sys.getsizeof() is also unavailable. </p>
  
  <p>GAE itself is clearly checking sizes behind the scenes to enforce the limits. Any ideas for how to accomplish this? Thanks.</p>
