People who are worried could make a python3 alias or use Ctrl-\.
I just tried that on two different Linux computers I have, and neither have softlimit.
Yeah, not sure what "softlimit" is either. I'd suggest sticking to POSIX-standard ulimit or just stick something like this in the .pythonrc.py: import resource resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_DATA, (2 * 1024**3, 2 * 1024**3)) Nor (presumably) would this help Windows users.
I (quickly) tried to get something to work using the win32 package, in particular the win32job functions. However, it seems setting "ProcessMemoryLimit" using win32job.SetInformationJobObject had no effect (i.e. a subsequent win32job.QueryInformationJobObject still showed the limit as 0)? People with stronger Windows-fu may be aware what is going on here... Stephan
