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!
