Have you tried to reproduce the issue outside of your application? Even if it means creating a gigantic Python script with a whopping triple-quoted string for the input data, it'd be helpful to try this. If you CAN repro the problem, it'd be way easier to diagnose (since we don't need your code, just your test case); and if you CAN'T, it may mean an issue with the embedding aspects. What's your definition of "fairly large" here? How many kilobytes/megabytes/gigabytes, and how deeply nested is the JSON object? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
