Antoine, on Unix you can restrict the address space of a program to test the issue without almost crashing and OOMing your box. ;)

>>> import resource
>>> resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS, (1024*1024*100, 1024*1024*100))
>>> l = [b''] * (100*1024*70)
>>> d = b''.join(l)
Traceback (most recent call last):

MemoryError
