What I'd like to know is: what was done to compile that Python with LFS?
I was reading this doc a couple of days back, and you might find the first few paragraphs useful: http://www.zope.org/Members/beacon/install_instructions Specifically, it says you can check whether your python has LFS like this: $ cd /somewhere_with_at_least_2.2G_of_space $ dd if=/dev/zero of=big_file_test bs=1024 count=2200000 $ python
open("big_file_test")
If there's no "File too large" exception I think you're in the clear. HTH, Felix.
