RE: About the 79 character line recommendation

Hi, There was a coding standard where I worked and the intention behind this requirement was to make the code printer friendly. Printing code source with lines longer than 80 chars greatly hinder readability on paper. Greetings, Olivier Langlois http://www.olivierlanglois.net > > I also

s but if I do that and compile _mysql.pyd. When that module is initialized, python is crashing because PyRun_String returns a NULL pointer instead of the expected valid PyObject pointer. Is there anybody that can help me? Thank you, Olivier Langlois http://www3.sympatico.ca/olanglois --

RE: Memory limit to dict?

facing. I have kept thinking about the original problem and I now believe that the only solution if he wants to store 3.6GB of data in a Python script is to recompile Python in 64 bits. I do not know if this is something that someone has already done successfully... Olivier Langlois http

RE: Memory limit to dict?

That is a good observation! Considering that hash tables to have good performance need to have a fill rate of 70% or lower means that if you try to fit 3.6 GB of data into a dict, your memory requirement will be much higher than 3.6GB. BTW, this brings a new question. How does Python controls dic

RE: Memory limit to dict?

Just out of curiosity. What is the OS that you are using? I am asking because I do not know about XP 64bits edition but if you are using Windows XP 32 bits version, no matter how much RAM you have on your machine, the OS has an inherent 4GB address space limit per process. Olivier Langlois http

Optimize flag question

flag has on scripts but I have not found much…   So my question is: what are the ‘optimizations’ that the Python interpreter is doing when you specify the optimize flag and is there anything I should be cautious about when using it?   Thank you, Olivier Langlois http://www.quazal.com
