Can someone please explain why <br><br>
<tt>n = 50000000<br>
lst = [i for i in range(n)] # or xrange(n) in Python 2<br><br>
</tt>crashes with <tt>MemoryError</tt> on a 32-bit system, while<br><br>
<tt>n = 50000000<br>
lst = n*[0]<br>
for i in range(n): # or xrange(n) in Python 2<br>
lst[i] = i<br><br>
</tt>works?<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
