使用sys.getsizeof(Var)方法的python大小的ctypes与`ctypes.sizeof(Var)`

python

我有一个关于python中可变大小的问题,我使用Ctypes是因为我想要一个1字节的数字,但是当我尝试通过python检查它的大小时(通过sys.getsize)它说是80字节,但是当我用ctypes(via
ctypes.sizeof)说它只有1个字节,有人可以告诉我有什么区别,为什么会有2个不同的大小?是因为python使用了对象还是包装器?当它发送到c时,它会查看实际尺寸吗?

import sys
import ctypes

print("size in ctypes is : ",ctypes.sizeof(ctypes.c_byte(1)))
print("size in sys is : ",sys.getsizeof(ctypes.c_byte(1)))

结果是

size in ctypes is :  1
size in sys is :  80

如果您想了解详细信息,则应该查看一下objects.h(尤其是文件顶部的注释)。您ctypes.c_byte(1)是一个Python对象:

>>> import sys
>>> import ctypes
>>> isinstance(ctypes.c_byte(1), object)
True

如@Daniel所述,sys.getsizeof获取该Python对象的大小。该Python对象大于C中相应的对象。请注意以下几点object.h

Objects are structures allocated on the heap. . . .
The actual memory allocated for an object
contains other data that can only be accessed after casting the pointer
to a pointer to a longer structure type.  This longer type must start
with the reference count and type fields; the macro PyObject_HEAD should be
used for this.

换句话说,宏PyObject_HEAD附加到每个对象的开头。这增加了Python对象的大小。

ctypes.sizeof另一方面,返回CPython对象中数据类型的实际大小(使用C的sizeof运算符)。

根据您在Daniel的评论中提到的目标,可以在Python
3.x中通过服务器发送一个字节。下面是一个示例,说明如何使用Python的socket模块发送字节来证明这一点。

这是服务器,您将在一个Python解释器中运行该服务器:

# Server
import socket

HOST = ''                      # All available interfaces
PORT = 50007                   # Same port as client
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(1)
conn, addr = s.accept()
print('Connected by', addr)
while True:
    data = conn.recv(1)        # receive data with bufsize 1; a larger bufsize will break this code
    if not data: break
    conn.sendall(data)
conn.close()

这是客户端,您将在另一个python解释器中运行该客户端:

# Client
import socket

HOST = '127.0.0.1'             # The remote host, but here using localhost
PORT = 50007                   # The port used by both the client and server
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.sendall(b'1')                # a bytes object
data = s.recv(1)               # Receive data from the socket with bufsize of 1
s.close()
print('Received', repr(data))  # confirm receipt
