Just for your information, your code is the equivalent of: while True: temp = range(20000000) The for loop does absolutely nothing in your case. After the range is computed, the for loop exits on the first iteration. On python 3.0 range() is a generator so your code essentially distills down to this if you ran it on python 3: while True: pass -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
