Yes, but it won't be enough if your linux doesn't support
it. In this case you can try to use external access products
like LocalFs, AdaptableStorage (Not sure about the spelling),
ExtFile-ExtImage, DirectoryStorage, etc.. Or enabling Large
File Support in your linux by migrating to Reiserfs (from suse),
XFS (from sgi), JFS (from IBM), Ext3fs, etc..

An easy way to know if your linux support large files is to type:
dd if=/dev/zero of=big_file_test bs=1024 count=2600000
* Make sure you have at least 3Gb free space.

It will try to create a file (big_file_test) bigger than 2Gb. If you see:
"File too large" it means your system doesn't support large files.

Then, with the file you just create, you can follow this instructions
to check if your python support LFS:

This one helps too ;) and perhaps checking linux newsgroups.
