In [3]: prod = 1 In [4]: for i in (3,3,3,3,3,3,10,4,6,2,18,10,11,4,2,2) : ...: prod *= i ...: In [5]: prod Out[5]: 11085465600L That is 11 gigs of floats, each of which is 8 bytes. So you need about 88 gigs for the array. I expect that that is not what you are trying to do. Do you just want an array with the listed values? Chuck
