[web2py] Re: internal error:size does not fit in an int

[Leonel Câmara]

Yep this is a bug in the zlib library python uses, nothing we can do here. 
It has only been fixed (more of a workaround than a fix) in python 3.5 (see 
here ) as far as I know.

I think it's a limitation of gzip. We might be able to work around it, but 
maybe not worth it to accommodate such a rare case. I would recommend 
instead doing a custom pack of the app, excluding whatever is taking up so 
much space (presumably either a large SQLite file or lots of uploads). Then 
use alternative means of copying/moving the files excluded from the .w2p 
package.

awww... an application 2gb in size ? what's in there ?

report it as a bug: dunno if it'll ever get fixed but seems that web2py is 
putting everything in memory before dumping to the tar.

 I have an application with 677 png images each around 10 megs in size.

 When I try to pack all and download the application I get an error
 internal error: size does not fit in an int.

 See attached screen shot.

 Any ideas about how to handle this issue?

 Thanks for your help,
