IMVU's downloadable client is built atop CPython. 80% of our users use 32-bit
Windows and 20% use 64-bit Windows. We do not intend to provide 64-bit builds
of our application for many of the same reasons sketched out in

Martin, we're running with this for years and with many extensions modules,
without an issue. What is 64-bit safe should be 32-bit safe, not only 31-bit
safe. But you're right, this is not a proof, and we

Not here. Python uses signed size_t for various lengths and sizes.
On win32 this only gives you 31 bits...

When running a Python script from within a desktop application (which
embeds Python and has /LARGEADDRESSAWARE set) [...]. Essentially this
discounts Python scripts as an option for automation in this case.
Well, if you already embed Python in

And I remain -1 to such requests. You can appeal to that by writing a

The patch is a simple tweak to the Visual Studio project's compiler settings.
Seems quite innocuous, nothing broke in the Python harness or our internal
harnesses (at ESRI) by enabling this.

I'm rejecting this as won't fix. Users having the underlying problem (i.e.
need more than 2GB of heap) really should switch to a 64-bit installation. The
risk of something breaking is just not worth it.
That testing showed no issues is not
Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org added the comment:
Unless anyone plans on a patch I say we let this go. As of 2.5 we provide x64
installers, and with most users running on 64-bit OS'es I would say it's better
to suggest they use a 64-bit compiled Python to obtain an even larger
addressable space.
