Hi all, I just realized Python doesn't support large file systems in Windows 2000. For living in the illusion it did it's a brute awakening. I didn't find much about it by googling, can anybody confirm this? Are there any Win32 versions of Python that could support this or is it not possible at all?

Just found it myself :-) (from http://www.python.org/2.2.1/NEWS.txt) Windows - Large file support now also works for files > 4GB, on filesystems that support it (NTFS under Windows 2000). See "What's New in Python 2.2a3" for more detail.

No windows version of Python 2.1 supports large files; the support for large files on Windows was added in Python 2.2, and no backport was done to 2.1. The reason has to do with the lack of large file APIs in the stdio compatibility APIs on win32 -- in order to get LFS working you have to use win32 apis directly, which Python 2.1 doesn't know how to do.
