Why do you have to marshal a 20MB test.py file? That's just crazy. The entire standard Python language, object files and source files combined, is about 90MB. There are 185 *.py modules just in the top level of the directory, that's less than half a megabyte per module (and in reality, much less than that). If your source file is more than 100K in size, you really should be breaking it into separate modules. If any one function is more than one page when printed out, you probably should be splitting it into two or more functions. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
