On a 32-bit system, sure, but given Mike creates a 45 GB dict, he has a 64-bit system, where ints are 24 bytes: >>> sys.getsizeof(0) 24 >>> sys.getsizeof(100000) 24 cheers Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
