Is it even theoretically possible to handle something like Graph(10^10)? That will crash at the line

memset(self.vertices, <int> NULL, nverts * self.hash_length * 
sizeof(SparseGraphBTNode *))

Before that we have

sig_malloc(nverts * self.hash_length * . . .
if not . . .
    raise RuntimeError("Failure allocating memory.")

but due to overcommit there is no exception raised. Setting (as root) the value of /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory will not help, but may change error message given.
