  >>> import pysize
  >>> import sys
  >>> pysize.get_size([])
  0
  >>> sys.getsizeof([])
  72
  >>> a = [[],{},()]
  >>> pysize.get_size(a)
  0
  >>> sys.getsizeof(a)
  96   # probably also wrong?
It's cool idea, but needs a bit more work I think.

Definitely, I'm still not sure it's giving the 100% accurate size in memory, however it is definitely a step up from sys.getsizeof.

I've fixed the bug causing the above, thank you for the call out!
