Maximum Elements in List

[ankit_1148]

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_MAX

in pyport.h

do you need something larger?
if so, I recommend you get a huge loan and buy a Cray!
