[issue1449496] Python should use 3GB Address Space on Windows

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org> added the comment:

Unless anyone plans on a patch I say we let this go. As of 2.5 we provide x64 installers, and with most users running on 64-bit OS'es I would say it's better to suggest they use a 64-bit compiled Python to obtain an even larger addressable space.

Of course, not all users are on 64-bit, but it'll take some work and tests for this to be considered for 3.2.
