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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
