processing limitation in Python

[bearophileHUGS at lycos.com]

Using CPython or GMPY with a smarter algorithm in acceptable time you
can find that:

12345678987654 == 2 * 3 * 2057613164609

It's a very big number to factorize with that naive algorithm, so the
program hangs... (I have used an online factoring service).
