I'm still unconvinced that it is a memory fragmentation problem. It's very rare. Can you give more concrete example that one can actually try to execute? Like:
python -c "list([list([0]*xxx)+list([1]*xxx)+list([2]*xxx) +list([3]*xxx) for xxx in range(100000)])" & -- Dmitry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
