Tim Peters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
They stayed alive simultaneously because you stored 100 million of them
simultaneously in a list (data[]). If instead you did, e.g.,
for i in xrange(100000000):
x = random()
the problem would go away -- then only two float objects are
simultaneously alive at any given time (the "old" float in `x` stays
alive until the "new" float created by random() replaces it).
