hum...

for example below, which elment of the output means the memory usage?
the list i should use about 16MB.

#mac osx 10.4.11
import resource
i = range( 0, 1000000)
print resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF)

--output:--
(0.042582999999999996, 0.064561999999999994, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
16, 0, 0, 0, 103, 0)
