What's the best way to install a 64-bit python alongside my existing installation? On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 7:32 AM, John Schulman wrote: > OK looks like that was the issue > $ python -c "import platform; print platform.machine()" > i386 > > Thanks > > > On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 2:52 AM, David > Cour

OK looks like that was the issue $ python -c "import platform; print platform.machine()" i386 Thanks On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 2:52 AM, David Cournapeau wrote: > Charles R Harris wrote: >> >> >> On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 2:32 AM, John Schulman > > wrote: >> >>     I'm gettin

[Numpy-discussion] error with large memmap

I'm getting the error OverflowError: cannot fit 'long' into an index-sized integer when I try to memmap a 6gb file top of the stack trace is mm = mmap.mmap(fid.fileno(), bytes, access=acc) where bytes = 652800L I thought that 64-bit systems with python>2.5 could memmap large files. I'm runnin
