Nope, you're not -- since ints aren't "immortal" (but rather limited to
being reused as other ints), then, if at no _other_ place in your
program do you ever need to be storing N ints at the same time, looping
This exactly what I was thinking.

Sorry for responding to my own post.
I think I understand the original statement now. What you are really
saying is that there is a pool of Python float objects (which can, at
different times, wrap different values) which can grow but never
decrease in size. So the memory held by this pool is di
I have not looked into C programming and Python so I probably don't
understand the issues here but the above statement sounds very
troubling.
Does this mean that any integer or float created anywhere at anytime in
a (pure) python program will be stored away for all time (as long as
the program is
