And yet I still get 36 with this:

So I guess the object is only pointing to its contents.
Python namespaces are effectively dictionaries binding a name
with an object reference. The object in turn is like a dictionary
referring to the values. So I guess you are seeing the object
container size.
means an object is just a bunch of names bound to pointers.
Pretty much everything in Python looks like a dictionary
so I'd guess you are correct.
