This weekend while running a rather large Python job, I ran into a memory error. It turned out that a dictionary I was populating could potentially become too big to fit into RAM. This is where DiskDict saved me some time.

It’s definitely not the best way to solve an issue, but in this case I was working with a limited system where rewriting the surrounding code would have been intrusive. Plus, the job didn’t have time constraints, so DiskDict was a decent workaround.
Wanted to share because it proved useful to me!
