So I wrote this script to go over a large wiki XML dump and pull out the pages I want. However, every time I run it the kernel displays 'Killed' I'm assuming this is a memory issue after reading around but I'm not sure where the memory problem is in my script
That's quite a big assumption. How big is the wiki file? How much RAM do you have? What do your system resource monitoring tools (eg top) say?
and if there were any tricks to reduce the virtual memory usage.
Of course, but as always be sure what you are tweaking before you start. Otherwise you can waste a lot of time doing nothing useful.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import sys pages_file = open('pages_file.txt', 'r')
....
##################################### with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as wiki: soup = BeautifulSoup(wiki) wiki.closed
Is that really what you mean? Or should it be wiki.close()?
wiki_page = soup.find_all("page") del soup for item in wiki_page: title = item.title.get_text() if title in page_titles: print item del title
