It might be slower to iterate using xrange, but xrange certainly has its
place in Python... Try the following on your computer:

for x in range(10**10):
    print x

for x in xrange(10**10):
    print x

Tell me which one doesn't overflow your memory. ;-) And before you come
telling me that these constraints are articial, I've _written_ programs
that had to iterate over 2**24 (the set of 10.* IP addresses), and I most
certainly wouldn't have wanted the machines to contain 384+ MB of RAM just
to store the number objects that range creates.
