Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:
The __sizeof__ special attribute shows up in dir(object) but appears not to be documented other than with
>>> help(object.__sizeof__)
Help on method_descriptor:
__sizeof__(...)
__sizeof__() -> size of object in memory, in bytes
Should it have an entry in Lib 4.12. Special Attributes?
object.__sizeof__
A method used by sys.getsizeof.
It should then show up in the index (missing now) and point people to sys.getsizeof. Looking further, I see that it is mentioned but not indexed in the sys.getsizeof entry.
