On UNIX, it's possible to limit a process memory using RLIMIT_AS:
from resource import getrlimit, setrlimit, RLIMIT_AS
def limitMemory(soft):
try:
old_soft, hard = getrlimit(RLIMIT_AS)
if old_soft != -1:
soft = min(soft, old_soft)
except ValueError:
hard = -1
setrlimit(RLIMIT_AS, (soft, hard))
Values are in bytes. So it's possible to get MemoryError without using the
whole system memory.
