Does anyone have experience of working with Python and very large text files (> 10Gb) on 64-bit Windows Vista?
The problem is that my Python program - to perform simple data processing on the 10Gb file - never completes and ends with an error. When I reduce the size of the file (< 5Gb) the program works perfectly. So, it is not my code! This is not the first time that this has happened and I'm wondering what is it about Python and/or 64-bit Vista that causes these inexplicable errors when processing very large text files?
