Try creating it in a more clean way, here an array of doubles: >>> from array import array >>> a = array("d", [0.0]) * 60494500 This requires about 477 MB to me. Note that I have not used "append" that slows down code a lot and wastes memory, that's what I mean with "clean". If you really need the (i,j) part too (and you may not need it), then you can create two more "parallel arrays". Also a numpy array may be better for such large amount of data.
