Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The issue is not only in difference between Python and C implementations, but also between 32-bit and 64-bit.
pickle.py on 32-bit accepts data up to 2G. pickle.py on 64-bit accepts data up to 2G. _pickle.c on 32-bit accepts data up to 2G. _pickle.c on 64-bit accepts data up to 4G. 3:1 for 2G. Current _pickle.c behavior is just not portable. Of course, I can rewrite the patch, expanding the limit to 4G on 64-bit if you insist. But I doubt that this is the best variant. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12848> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
