As I said, it's essentially paging: http://kerneltrap.org/node/2450 And it's not something you can just compile in, you need explicit code-support for it. Which python hasn't. And most other programs. So there is not a magic compile option. > I'll just switch to 64-bit architecture. That's the solution, yes :) Diez

Beware, sys.getsizeof(alist) is 4*len(alist) + a bit, regardless of alists's contents ?! See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2117255/python-deep-getsizeof-list-with-contents cheers -- denis |
