title: Python MemoryError loading text files
body: <p>I'm trying to load ~2GB of text files (approx 35K files) in my python script. I'm getting a memory error around a third of the way through on page.read(). I'</p>
  
  <pre><code>for f in files:
      page = open(f)
      pageContent = page.read().replace('\n', '')
      page.close()
  
      cFile_list.append(pageContent)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've never dealt with objects or processes of this size in python. I checked some of other Python MemoryError related threads but I couldn't get anything to fix my scenario. Hopefully there is something out there that can help me out.</p>
