Large file support >2/4GB ?

Somebody who uses my app gets a error :

os.stat('/path/filename')

OSError: [Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type:
'/path/filename'

on a big file >4GB

( Python 2.4.4 / Linux )

How about that? Does Python not support large files? Or which
functions do not support?

*nix itself 'had' an issue with large files. This was patched some
time ago, what version/flavour of Linux are you running ?

It looks like Python is not being compiled with large file support by
default. Most distributions do not enable large file support for Python.
