When i wanted to send an .iso file of 4GB length, i had traceback:
"OverflowError: requested number of bytes is more than a Python string
can hold"
You're not supposed to put the 4GB all in one string. Open the
socket and send smaller packets through it.

Ok, so i will split that data for smaller files. But i've still haven't got
answer for question: "What's the max. length of string bytes which Python
can hold?
sys.maxsize
The largest positive integer supported by the platform’s
Py_ssize_t type, and thus the maximum size lists, strings, dicts, and
many other containers can have.

Thanks. I've wanted to check very carefully what's up, and i found this:
"strings (currently restricted to 2GiB)".
It's here, in PEP #353 (PEP 0353
<http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0353/>). Besides of this, i've found
in sys module's docstring this:
maxint = 2147483647
maxunicode = 1114111
Which when added gives us 2148597758.0 bytes, which are equal to
2049.0624980926514 MiB's.
So files larger than 2049.06 MiB's should be splitted into smaller ones
and sent partially.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
