<p>This seems to work for me without changing the user agent. Without the "action=raw" it does not work for me.</p>

Short Integers in Python | 120,250 | <p>Python allocates integers automatically based on the underlying system architecture. Unfortunately I have a huge dataset which needs to be fully loaded into memory. </p>
<p>So, is there a way to force Python to use only 2 bytes for some integers (equivalent of C++ 'short')?</p>
| 10 | 2008-09-23T10:35:09Z | 120,256 | <p>Nope. But you can use short integers in arrays:</p>
<pre><code>from array import array
a = array("h") # h = signed short, H = unsigned short
</code></pre>
<p>As long as the value stays in that array it will be a short integer.</p>
