The problem (see my post of the com_backpatch code) is writing a compound statement (here a for loop) with a body so large as to require a jump of more than 64K bytes in the compiled bytecode (ie, from the test at the top of the loop to the code that follows after the loop). Until the jump limit is raised (likely a long wait ;-), the OP must factor some of the code out of the loop. Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
