Hi,
I'm new at python as I just started to learn it, but I found out
something weird. I have wrote a little program to compute Mersenne
number:
# Snipet on
def is_prime n:
for i in range(2, n):
if (n % i) == 0:
return 0
else:
return 1
for a in range(2, 10000000):
if (is_prime(a) and is_prime(2**a-1))
print 2**a-1, " is a prime number"
# Snipet off
This program raise MemoryError. But this one:
# Snipet on
def is_prime n:
for i in range(2, n):
if (n % i) == 0:
return 0
return 1 # the change is here
for a in range(2, 10000000):
if (is_prime(a) and is_prime(2**a-1))
print 2**a-1, " is a prime number"
# Snipet off
Does not! Why ??

Don't use range, use xrange. The former will generate an actual list in
memory, which you usually don't need - especially in for-loops as you
don't even have a reference on the list itself.
And I don't think that your change afflicts memory consumption at all. Must
be a coincidence.

Syntax error. Should be:
def is_prime n:
for i in range(2, n):
if (n % i) == 0:
return 0
else:
return 1
for a in range(2, 10000000):

Syntax error (missing :)

Neither of the above compiles without error. You may regard this as a
novel suggestion (it's not), but try pasting the actual code that you ran.
When corrected, the versions are functionally equivalent. They give the
same result: on my box, they fell over trying to do
is_prime(536870 911), in particular trying to do range(536870911 ). If
successful, that would produce a list of approx 0.5G elements. On a
32-bit box, that's about 2GB of pointers to objects. Each object has a
reference count, a pointer to its type, and its value -- another 6GB.
Total about 8GB. Use xrange() to avoid the memory grab.
HTH,
John

Sorry for that, I was not able to cut-paste the code at the moment, and
was in a hurry, I know it's bad.
Thanks for "xrange", I tried and it works fine. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

The problem is basically in the subject line.
I am building an Intranet site based on Zope/CMF/Plone. In order to
fulfill the requirements Zope/Python must be run on Windows.
Zope is running as a Wi32 service. When the python.exe process
consume ~122MB (according to the Windows Task Manager) I start
receiving MemoryError: out of memory exceptions. I've already checked
for bad RAM and the server's RAM appears good.

Hi all,
I have a Python 2.3.2 application that uses the httplib package to download

Hi all,
I met a weird problem when using scipy.integrate.odeint(). It is followed as:
from scipy import *
y=integrate.odeint(lambda y,t:sin(y)*y,y0=random.rand(N),t=arange(0,100))
If N>= 73300 or N<=70400, it works well. Yet, within the range(70400,73300), it goes wrong with a error message "MemoryError".
I am very confused about that. My python version is "Python2.4.3", scipy version is "scipy 0.5.0.2033". By the way, my computer's...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
