I'm working on a module that will manipulate large blobs. I'm using a C dll to allocate big blocks of memory, using PyMem_Malloc, which is working quite well up until I try to manipulate a blob that exhausts Python's heap.
how large is that?
I'm guessing that to increase the heapsize, I'm going to have to recompile Python... (??) Am I on the right track?
no. if PyMem_Malloc fails (i.e. returns NULL), it's the operating system that refuses to give your process more memory.
