Very interesting problem :) That never occured to me.

To prevent python from loading that entire list into memory, one
could, as you suggested, use a generator:

>>> def genrange( start , stop , step = 1 ):
	while start < stop:
		yield start
		start += step
		
>>> for x in range( 5 ):
	print "%s " % str( x ),

0  1  2  3  4 

>>> for x in genrange( 0 , 5 ):
	print "%s " % str( x ),
	
0  1  2  3  4
