Maximum Elements in List - ankit_1148 - Sep-01-2017
I have a doubt - How to find the maximum no. of elements that can be placed in one list.
Also, how can I extend this size limitation.
Thanks

on a 32 bit system, maximum size is 536,870,912 items.
on a 64 bit system it's Hugh 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
you can find out by looking at the 'C' source,
PY_SSIZE_T_MAXin pyport.h
do you need something larger?
if so, I recommend you get a huge loan and buy a Cray!
