No, there is no reason to run out of memory. This will simply make an everlasting x-printer and there is no need to store anything (except output buffers, terminal scrollback, etc., but all of this is temporary and of limited size). In case of adding elements to a list, the memory usage can, of course, grow unlimitedly. On linux, if the process eats up too much memory, it gets killed. I do not know about windows, but they would probably crash with a BSOD or something of that sort. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
