# CSV field larger than field limit in Python

So I was working on something very simple involving a CSV file:

```python
import csv

with open('file.csv', 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f)
    lines = [ln for ln in reader]
```

And as one would expect, the result of running this code was `Error: field larger than field limit (131072)`

The 128 KiB field size boundary is so beautifully arbitrary. Use the following workaround to fix that:

```python
import sys

csv.field_size_limit(sys.maxsize)
```

Doesn't have to be specifically `sys.maxsize`, any sufficiently large number would do.

There's no moral to this story, just mild suffering.
