Not sure if this is a bug, however the following string functions when
called with very big numbers as the padding arguments consume great
system resources. My estimation is that it would help to exist a limit
on what can be specified as width.
Check (center, ljust, rjust, zfill)
eg.
import string
string.center('..', 2147483647)
Tested on python versions: 2.5.1 and 2.5.2

The issue is that you're creating a string of 2GB. It's expectable that it'll use a lot of resources. Test this, for example: >>> a = "." * 2147483647 |

As for the possibility of rejecting the request: Python should absolutely not do so. If the user/applications wants to compute the result, and the system has enough virtual memory, then Python should provide the result. If you want to limit how much memory Python can consume, use the operating system's resource management functions (such as ulimit). |
