Thanks guys,

It doesn't seems to help. I'm thinking that it might be a SOAPpy 
problem. The allocation fails when I grab a list of more than 150k 
elements through SOAP but allocating a 1 million element list is fine in 
python.

Now I have a performance problem...

Say I have 3 lists (20K elements, 1G elements, and 0 elements), call 
them 'a', 'b', and 'c'. I want to filter all that is in 'b' but not in 
'a' into 'c'...

 >>> a = range(1, 100000, 5)
 >>> b = range(0, 1000000)
 >>> c = []
 >>> for i in b:
...     if i not in a: c.append(i)
...

This takes forever to complete. Is there anyway to optimize this?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Maurice
