Sounds like you need to process the data insitu instead of loading it all at once.

im getting ptsd to when people were trying to explain to me how to install python, sounds simple but it was not. this tweet has the ominousness of someone who does not remember what it was like to not know any basics

probably massage the data a bit until it fits or use a different python library or don't load it all at once

Unless an expert has spent a lot of time optimizing it, odds are high that there are small tweaks to your code that will cut the memory usage by 2x or more.
But if you have less than 32GB of RAM, buy the upgrade anyways.
