Example:
Hm, if you fix the long integer arithmetic "problem" you should also attack the unbounded memory consumption problem in general ;) > f = open('example.bmp','rb') > rawdata = f.read() > bsstr = [] > for b in rawdata: > bsstr.append( bin(ord(b)) ) > bsstr = ''.join(bsstr) > > or even: > f = open('example.bmp','rb') > bsstr = ''.join( bin(ord(b))[2:] for b in f.read() ) Yes, the original is horrible newbie code ;) but that's what you tend to write while learning to program -- and python can handle it alright. On the other hand, Idle becomes unresponsive when I do >>> print("a"*10**6) in its shell. I'm still investigating, but the problem seems to be that it's a single line. >>> print(("a"*100+"\n") * 10**4) takes under 7 secs. Not as good as konsole (KDE's terminal emulation) which finishes in 0.5 secs, but acceptable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
