Mailing List Archive: gadfly install problem

I am trying to install gadfly for use on my mac with python 1.5.1

The installation seems to have worked. When I try to test gadfly by
creating a new database, I get the following error message:

Python 1.5.1 (#37, Apr 27 1998, 13:36:04) [CW PPC w/GUSI w/MSL]
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import gadfly
>>> connection = gadfly.gadfly()
>>> connection.startup("testbase", "testfolder")
>>> cursor = connection.cursor()
>>> cursor.execute("create table ph (nm varchar, ph varchar)")
shift: no mem in addchild
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "Macintosh HD:Development:Python 1.5.1:Lib:lib-gadfly:gadfly.py",
line 320, in execute
from sqlsem import Parse_Context
MemoryError
>>>

Any suggestions? I am very new to python and am still working my way
through the Learning Python book.

Thanks,

Ah, you're on a Mac.

You'll need to increase Python's memory partition. Python's parser uses a
*lot* of memory if a source file is big.

Just
