The problem isn't memory, it's that on 32-bit Python, np.prod(arr.shape) must be <2**32 (or maybe 2**31 -- something like that). Normally you wouldn't be creating such arrays anyway because they would be too big to fit into memory, so this problem isn't observed, but when you're using stride_tricks then it's very easy to create arrays that use only a small amount of memory but that have very large shapes. Solution: don't buy more memory, just use a 64-bit Python, where the limit is 2**64 (or 2**63 or whatever). -n _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
