Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: If these 8 million records are loaded into memory, it can be normal to get a MemoryError. It depends on the complexity of the records (number of fields) and the way they are kept in memory (tuples? dicts?); and of course of the amount of available RAM in your system.
In any case your description of the problem is not sufficiently detailed for us to now whether it's a problem with Python, a problem with your code, or simply some mismatching expectations on your part. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7899> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
