Martin Panter added the comment: Gareth, are you sure that fixes the main memory problem? Did you see Serhiy’s cum_weights list? Looking at the code, a list of every number from one to 13 million will use more memory (to hold each unique integer) than the initial list of repeated ones.
I think the problem may also be causing buildbot failures: Crash in test_random: http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%209.x%203.x/builds/5373/steps/test/logs/stdio 0:19:42 [368/404] test_random crashed -- running: test_zipfile (48 sec), test_tools (139 sec) Traceback (most recent call last): [. . .] File "/usr/home/buildbot/python/3.x.koobs-freebsd9/build/Lib/test/libregrtest/runtest_mp.py", line 221, in run_tests_multiprocess raise Exception(msg) Exception: Child error on test_random: Exit code -9 Timeout in choices(): http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20FreeBSD%2010.x%20Shared%203.x/builds/5464/steps/test/logs/stdio 0:17:05 [215/404] test_random crashed Timeout (0:15:00)!
