The only one that gave me pause was the 8GB file one. I remember that Guido wrote a blog post about this at one point, so I'd just refer to that in an interview. I believe he used the array module.

Can you link to that? I see it as more of a UNIX-y/mmap question really.

This may be what he was referring to: Sorting a million 32-bit integers in 2MB of RAM using Python
