Last time I checked with DOS compilers (long ago) FLAT mode was
using a protected mode environment to make the whole memory available
in one large 32-bit segment instead of having to address using
16-bit segment and 16-bit offset (being thereby limited to
1048576 memory (- bios stuf + window to ems etc.).

I think having python run in FLAT mode would be a better idea than not.

Else you might run into 640K problems.
