Error tokenizing data. C error: out of memory pandas python, large file csv

Question

I have a large csv file of 3.5 go and I want to read it using pandas.

This is my code:

import pandas as pd
tp = pd.read_csv('train_2011_2012_2013.csv', sep=';', iterator=True, chunksize=20000000, low_memory = False)
df = pd.concat(tp, ignore_index=True)

I get this error:

pandas/parser.pyx in pandas.parser.TextReader.read (pandas/parser.c:8771)()

pandas/parser.pyx in pandas.parser.TextReader._read_rows (pandas/parser.c:9731)()

pandas/parser.pyx in pandas.parser.TextReader._tokenize_rows (pandas/parser.c:9602)()

pandas/parser.pyx in pandas.parser.raise_parser_error (pandas/parser.c:23325)()

CParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: out of 

The capacity of my ram is 8 Go.

mylist = []

for chunk in  pd.read_csv('train_2011_2012_2013.csv', sep=';', chunksize=20000):
    mylist.append(chunk)

big_data = pd.concat(mylist, axis= 0)
del mylist
