Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I *think* range uses long internally, so 9999999999 should be okay on an LP64 machine. Except that of course the range() result must also fit in memory: on a 64-bit machine range(9999999999) would need more than 300 Gb of memory. (That's 32 bytes per entry: 24 bytes for each integer and 8 bytes for the list pointer.)
