I created a python file that contained the dictionary. The size of
this file was 6.8GB. I thought it would be practical not to create the
dictionary from a text file each time I needed it. I.e. I thought
loading the .pyc-file should be faster. Yet, Python failed to create
a .pyc-file

Looks like the marshal format (used to create the .pyc file) can't handle sizes so big - and that limitation will stay for a while:

So follow any of the previous suggestions and store your dictionary as data, not code.
