Hi @kmiku7, it's possible to write tests that use a large amount of memory and to run them only when asked to with bigmemtest: https://docs.python.org/3/library/test.html#test.support.bigmemtest There is some tests that use it in the codebase like https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/1561703a78849ac3511055590d9d1bd2c62a2072/Lib/test/test_bz2.py#L646-L647 Creating a large string and sending it through a socket should be ok if you mark the test with this decorator.
