You are right, ofcourse... I haven't got the time for doing the right thing,
But I've found another workaround that helped me though and might be helpful
to others.
(not sure its for this thread though but...) Windows on default limits the
amount of memory
for 32 bit processes to 2GB. There's a bit in the PE image which tells 64
bit windows
to give it 4GB (on 32 bit windows PAE needs to be enabled too) which is
called
IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE. There's a post-build way to enable
it with the editbin.exe utility which comes with visual studio like this:
editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE python.exe
It works for me since it gives me x2 memory on my 64 bit os.
I have to say it could be dangerous since it essentially says no where in
python code
pointers are treated as negative numbers. I figured this should be right
since there's a 64 bit
version of python...

Anybody *really* interested in this issue: somebody will need to write a PEP,
get it accepted, and provide an implementations. Open source is about
