Comment(by charris):

 Curious. I can memmap a 12 GB file:


 {{{
 In [5]: f = np.memmap ('testfile', mode = 'r', dtype = np.int16)

 In [6]: f.shape
 Out[6]: (6144000000,)
 }}}

 Just to make sure you are running 64 bit python, what does


 {{{
 charris@f16 ~$ file `which python`
 /usr/bin/python: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
 dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped

 }}}

 show?
