Peter, this looks like a different problem;  please could you open a new issue?

When/if you do, please could you also report:

 - what version of Python you're using
 - your system details (what OS?  32-bit or 64-bit?)

If you can give us a better idea of what's in your 86Mb file, that would also help:  perhaps post the first few and last few lines.  What's in this list?  Integers?  Floats?  Strings?

It's not totally implausible that Python really *does* need gigabytes of memory to process a list in an 86Mb file.
