Hello I have written code using python and C extensions which performs object detection on 3D data sets. The code was originally developed under Linux and has since been used under Windows XP where I continuously get MemoryError crashes when assembling a list of 78566400 integers. There is nothing wrong with the code since it runs perfectly under Linux with the exception of using 75% of the available 3.5 Gb of memory. When we get the memory error crash in windows there is still roughly 1.5GB of available memory. My only guess is that Windows will not let a program consume huge amounts of memory??
Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated.
