depends on your definition of "integers":
xrange(sys.maxint) # 0-based
xrange(1, sys.maxint) # 1-based
gives you a sequence-like object that generates all positive Python
integers (no long integers)
itertools.count() # 0-based
itertools.count(1) # 1-based
gives you an iterator that generates all Python integers (the behaviour
when it exceeds sys.maxint doesn't seem to be defined, but 2.4 wraps
around to -(sys.maxint+1))
