Hey guys,
I have just finished writing a program that calculates pi for as many digits as the user specifies. One thing I'm trying to do now is measure how much memory the calculation consumes. When I read articles about people that have calculated pi to several trillion digits, they usually mention that a few terabytes of memory were needed. How would I measure memory consumption with Python? Is this even possible? Thanks!

You can also use sys.getsizeof() to find the amount of memory used by a particular object, which may or may not be useful to you, depending on how you wrote your code.
