Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

The behavior of range is very unlikely to be changed in Python 2.x, for 
backwards compatibility reasons.

But it's a great idea!  So great, in fact, that it's already been 
implemented for Python 3.0.  :-)  There range() behaves like a generator 
(in all contexts);  if you really want a list, you'd write:

list(range(2**20))

Thanks!
