Python has nice reflection/inspection capabilities, so you're able to
list the content of a package. Doing this "by hand" is somewhat 
cumbersome, have a look at the module inspect[0].

I would recommend to use pyalamode from the wxPython project (should be
packaged in a decent distribution, like python-wxtools in Debian[1])
pyalamode allows you to browse packages and does autocompletion, so you
type "gr.sizeof_" and get a list of all available sizeof_<type>s.
