the Series. The memory usage can optionally include the contribution of the index and of elements of `object` dtype. Parameters ---------- index : bool, default True Specifies whether to include the memory usage of the Series index. deep : bool, default False If True, introspect the data deeply by interrogating `object` dtypes for system-level memory consumption, and include it in the returned value. Returns ------- int Bytes of memory consumed. See Also -------- numpy.ndarray.nbytes : Total bytes consumed by the elements of the array. DataFrame.memory_usage : Bytes consumed by a DataFrame. Examples -------- >>> s = pd.Series(range(3)) >>> s.memory_usage() 152 Not including the index gives the size of the rest of the data, which is necessarily smaller: >>> s.memory_usage(index=False) 24 The memory footprint of `object` values is ignored by default: >>> s = pd.Series(["a", "b"]) >>> s.values array(['a', 'b'], dtype=object) >>> s.memory_usage() 144 >>> s.memory_usage(deep=True) 244 r³
