- As you can see I received the error when I tried to import
jmoco_event_data.py module from the jython interpreter prompt.
- The "import" will cause the module compilation, jython will produce
a .class file instead of .pyc.
- jmoco_event_data.py contains 4 dictionaries:

typesValToName={
220:'EMS_EVENT_EMS_INTERNAL_BASE',
221:'EMS_EVENT_INTERNAL_TYPE_BASE',
222:'EMS_EVENT_INTERNAL_N_E_P_M_EVENT',
223:'EMS_EVENT_INTERNAL_N_E_ALARM_RCVD',
224:'EMS_EVENT_NE_SPECIFIC_BASE',
... 11746 entries int key: string value
}

typesNameToVal={
'EMS_EVENT_EMS_INTERNAL_BASE':220,
'EMS_EVENT_INTERNAL_TYPE_BASE':221,
'EMS_EVENT_INTERNAL_N_E_P_M_EVENT':222,
'EMS_EVENT_INTERNAL_N_E_ALARM_RCVD':223,
'EMS_EVENT_NE_SPECIFIC_BASE':224,
... total 11746 entries string key: int value
}

causesValToName={
0:'NOT_APPLICABLE_UNKNOWN',
1:'SOFTWARE_CAUSE_UNKNOWN',
2:'ABSENT_MODULE',
3:'FAULTY_MODULE',
... 483 entries int key: string value
}

causesNameToVal={
'NOT_APPLICABLE_UNKNOWN':0,
'SOFTWARE_CAUSE_UNKNOWN':1,
'ABSENT_MODULE':2,
'FAULTY_MODULE':3,
... 483 entries string key: int value
}

The dictionaries are in the jmoco_event_data.py module.

Nope, the dictionaries are only int to string mappings and string to
int mappings

The failure happens during module's import, so my question is: Is
jython able to handle such big dictionaries?

jmoco_event_data.py has a size of roughly 700KB.
