Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Windows Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin Gfeller (gfe) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Python should use 3GB Address Space on Windows Initial Comment: Python runs fine using a 3GB address space on 32bit Windows. To take advantage of this feature, Python should be linked using the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag of the linker. For details, please refer to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en- us/memory/base/4gt_ram_tuning.asp As most Windows users just use pre-built executables, this would be a worthwhile change.

Can you offer a patch? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1449496&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
