[issue26428] The range for xrange() is too narrow on Windows 64-bit

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

> xrange() still functions if you give it a value larger than `long`

What do you mean? Did you mean to write range() instead of xrange()? Both range and xrange in Python 2 use a C long for the start, stop, step, and length values. With how they get used this generally isn't a problem, which is why no one previously created an issue for this.
