Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I have only 32-bit OS and can't answer this questions. I'm surprised by 1 GiB limit too.
Marc, can you please check 4.5 GiB file? What limit in this case, 1 GiB or 0.5 GiB? What about slicing a big bytes object or bytearray (if you have enough memory)? If mmap on Windows can't work with files larger 4 GiB, then it should raise exception on creation or at least on access. Silent production of wrong result is not a way. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16743> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
