The list you're attempting to create needs around 41GB of RAM (28 bytes for the actual object, rounded up to 32 bytes per object for alignment reasons, plus 8 bytes for each pointer in the list). Assuming you don't have that much memory on your system, it'll likely start swapping at that point. > Should I submit this as a bug to the kernel project then? That's up to you. The effect is well known and well documented - see for example https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577528 . You may want to consider using `ulimit` to limit the amount of RAM that the Python process can use. In any case, closing here, since this isn't a Python bug. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43161> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
