Herbert added the comment: Hi Eric,
I would assume that for the right range-parameter (in my case 30 * 1000 ** 2), which just fits in memory, your system would also crash after a pickle.dump. That is, I had this behavior on two of my machine both running a Ubuntu setup though. Nevertheless, if you give me some time I'm happy to check my dmesg and any log you wish. I find it strange that sometimes I get a MemoryError when I run out of memory (in particular when using numpy), and sometimes the system crashes (in particular when using other python-stuff). Therefore I don't think this is pickle-specific, or even if this is a bug instead of a 'feature'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25465> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
