Yes, and it is possible to send that much content via SMTP. It just
isn't something that library authors are going to be overly concerned
about. You may need to jump through a few extra hoops, or maybe just
throw more RAM at the computer (possibly switching to a 64-bit build
of Python if you aren't already using one). However, I would *still*
recommend using a different transport for such large files.
