Content
(the fix is probably trivial, it involves dividing sys.maxsize by the number of bytes of an unicode character, something like: width = sys.getsizeof("a") - sys.getsizeof("") alloc = lambda: u"a" * (sys.maxsize // width) self.assertRaises(MemoryError, alloc) self.assertRaises(MemoryError, alloc) you can give it a try if you want ;-))
