I have a simple question to which I could not find an answer.
What is the total maximal size of list including size of its elements?
I do not like to look into python source.
But it would answer that question pretty fast. Because then you'd see
that all list-object-methods are defined in terms of Py_ssize_t, which
is an alias for ssize_t of your platform. 64bit that should be a 64bit long.

Then how do explain the program output?
What exactly? That after 3GB it ran out of memory? Because you don't
have 4GB memory available for processes.

Did you see my posting?
....
Here is what I get on 32-bit architecture:
cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 8309860 kB
MemFree: 5964888 kB
Buffers: 84396 kB
Cached: 865644 kB
SwapCached: 0 kB
.....
I have more than 5G in memory not speaking of swap space.
Yes, I saw your posting. 32Bit is 32Bit. Do you know about PAE?

Just because the system can deal with more overall memory - one process
can't get more than 4 GB (or even less, through re-mapped memory).
Except it uses specific APIs like the old hi-mem-stuff under DOS.
