[issue8426] multiprocessing.Queue fails to get() very large objects

[Matt Goodman]

Matt Goodman <meawoppl at gmail.com> added the comment:

You can not pickle individual objects larger than 2**31.  This failure is not handled cleanly in the core module, and I suspect masked by above processes. 

Try piping "a"*(2**31) through you pipe, or pickling it to disk . . .
