How do I determine the size of an object in Python?

In C, we can find the size of an int, char, etc. I want to know how to get size of objects like a string, integer, etc. in Python.

I am using an XML file which contains size fields that specify the size of value. I must parse this XML and do my coding. When I want to change the value of a particular field, I will check the size field of that value. Here I want to compare whether the new value that I'm gong to enter is of the same size as in XML. I need to check the size of new value. In case of a string I can say its the length. But in case of int, float, etc. I am confused.
