Christian Heimes added the comment: I'm -10 on the patch in issue1540617 ( +/-2**63).
Reason: It's a good thing that the range of "range" is limited since it returns a list of integers. range(2**32) allocates (2**32)*16 bytes + small overhead for ints plus the space for the list (probably (2**32)*sizeof(ptr) which is 4 or 8 bytes). So far the memory for the ints is *never* returned to the system. I'm working on the problem. ---------- nosy: +tiran __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1533> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
