Good catch, Zach! A 32bit version of Python would certainly explain your problem. A 32bit process can only address 4 GB of address space. Almost half of the address space is reserved for OS, stack, Python itself, and other things. That leaves a little more than 2 GB of free heap memory for user data. Due to memory fragmentation it is possible that the allocator can't find a continuous free block 1 GB. ---------- nosy: +christian.heimes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38923> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
