Maximum List size (item number) limit?

Tue Jan 10 00:23:29 EST 2006

Dear Members,

Is there any possibility to use more than 999 items in a list? Cannot 
append more than 999 items.  The same problem with 'array' type. Is it a 
result of a default setting maybe?

Versions:
Python 2.4.1 (No.1, Sep 13 2005, 00:39:20)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)] on lease1220, Qt-Version

Platform OpenSUSE, RAM size 1GB.

A previous discussion also indicates the problem, unfortunately without 
solution.
