While executing programs with large lists ,i am encountering an error message:
Index error:List index out of range
The program works well with small lists..Can anyone suggest me some efficient methods to handle this problem?or Is there any other efficient datastructure other than lists and dictionary to serve the purpose ?

you could split your list in to 2 smaller lists and process them indervidualy.
Also you may wish to look into vectors

I don't think it has much to do with the size of the list, you are simply going past the number of indexed elements. Look at this example:

"list index out of range" has nothing to do with the size of the list AFAIK. If the list were too large there would be some sort of out of memory message. SQLite can be used in memory but you'll have to provide some more info on how many records you want to store, what is the size of each record, and what you want to do in order to be more specific.
