I think he thinks that python is going to read the whole 3.6GB of data into memory in one hit, rather than using a small amount of memory to process it line by line. But "for line in datafile" in your code above uses a generator, right? So I don't think it's a problem - correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, benno. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
