Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Indeed:
>>> s = b'a' * (2**31) >>> d = pickle.dumps(s) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> SystemError: error return without exception set There are two aspects to this: - (bugfix) raise a proper exception when an object too large for handling by pickle is given - (feature) improve the pickle protocol to handle objects larger than (2**31-1) elements The improvement to the pickle protocol should probably be considered along other improvements, because we don't want to create a new protocol too often.
