STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Your example work here on: - Linux, i386, 2 Go of memory, Python 2.5 - FreeBSD in Qemu, i386, 512 MB of memory, Python 2.5
> The program just eat all the CPU and with high memory usage or raise a MemoryError Yes, it takes one minute or more to finish. If there is not enough memory, Python raises a MemoryError. The behaviour is correct: Python doesn't crash, it's just slow. Your text file is ~40 MB. Python may allocate mutiple objects bigger than 40 MB to create the email content. The algorithm should be changed to work on a stream (process small chunks, eg. 4 KB) instead of manipule the full text in memory (+40,000 KB). Why do you try to send 40 MB by email? Use FTP or another protocol :-p Or use another encoding (base64) to attach the text to the email. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
