I'm not sure what the point of any of that is;  you're making a simple
problem complex.  If you're wanting to accomplish the task without using
any of the itertools stuff, why not just:


current = 10**9
lim = 10**10
while current < lim:
     print current   #or write to file, or whatever
     current += 1
