Space for integer objects in particular lives in an immortal 
free list of unbounded size, so it's certain in the current 
implementation that doing range(10000000) will hang on to 
space for 10 million integers forever.  If you don't want that, 
don't do that ;-)  Iterating over xrange(10000000) instead will 
consume very little RAM.
