determining available space for Float32, for instance

2006-05-23 Thread David Socha
I am looking for a way to determine the maxium array size I can allocate for arrays of Float32 values (or Int32, or Int8, ...) at an arbitrary point in the program's execution. This is needed because Python cannot allocate enough memory for all of the data we need to process, so we need to "chunk"
