Description
I have been trying to use some memory profiling tools, to profile my code. With two different memory profilers, both of which use sys.getsizeof(obj), pandas has been the cause of a TypeError returned. I am posting below an example using the memory-tools package.
Code Sample
I have tested the following code independently in a Jupyter notebook environment, separate from my other code. It should (hopefully) be a minimal example that can be reproduced. I am happy to provide more information on my environment if needed.
from memorytools import summarize_objects
import pandas as pd
summarize_objects()
Error Returned

TypeError: must be type, not FrozenList
Please pardon my ignorance on this matter, but would someone be kind enough to educate me on why this error is thrown, and how I might be able to fix this? If there's a maintainer who could provide some guidance, I am happy to dig into the codebase and submit a PR if that will fix the error.
