That's not what it does on my system (Python 2.5.2 on Windows).  Please post the 
code that you are "actually" running.

 >>> for y in range(15):
... 	print str(y)
... 	
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

You must have put them in a list and sorted them prior to printing them to get 
the output you show.  If you sort the list, the output is correct.  To make it 
different, you will need to pass sort a custom cmp function.
