your MemoryError problem is most likely because you're attempting to read the entire contents of huge files into memory and then, on top of that, effectively doubling the amount of memory needed by creating a list of lists of the string values from each line. Python's memory limits are determined by how much physical ram and virtual memory disk space your computer and operating system have available. Even if you don't use it all up and your program "works", using it may be impractical because it takes too long. Anyway, the most obvious way to avoid that is to process each file a single line at a time, which means you have to do the processing incrementally. read less

Is it possible to learn C++ and Python at the same time?
No, Always learn and master one programming language and then Choose other. If you learn two different languages same time your written programme will fail due to the incomplete knowledge of programming. I suggest you to learn python first then c++.
