Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

(the fix is probably trivial, it involves dividing sys.maxsize by the number of
bytes of an unicode character, something like:

    width = sys.getsizeof("a") - sys.getsizeof("")
    alloc = lambda: u"a" * (sys.maxsize // width)
    self.assertRaises(MemoryError, alloc)
    self.assertRaises(MemoryError, alloc)

you can give it a try if you want ;-))
