python - Size limit of set data type

Question

I have a list with 7,200,000 elements in it. When I try to convert it with set() it cuts out to 4,500,000 elements. What can I do to bypass this problem?

I'm using Python 3.2.2 x86 on Windows.

Answer 1

I think your list has duplicate elements which are removed in set. Sets include unique elements only.
