To: FreeBSD Mailing List MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a Python script that produces a memory error message in FreeBSD 4.5 Stable. I'd send this email to a Python list; but the script works in Windows and Linux. Basically, the script takes data from a fixed-width text file and writes the data into a tab delimited file with the extra spaces stripped out. The data source file is usually just under 500Mb. The traceback points to the beginning of a "for" control loop. The script works on a computer with a 900MHz Pentium II with 512Mb RAM running Windows 98SE or OpenLinux 3.1; but gets a memory error on a computer with a 900MHz AMD Thunderbird, 1.5Gb RAM running FreeBSD 4.5-Stable. Is there some incompatibility between Python and FreeBSD? Should I be using Perl? (I'm not trying to start any wars.) I haven't attached the script because it's a bit long. Would someone be willing to look at it? Thanks, Andrew Gould __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
