RE: Help on try-except

[Matthew Burns]

The reason it takes so long is you are not using xrange
The range function iterates through the entire data set EVERY time,
regardless of whether it needs to
This increases processer use EXPONENTIALLY as that number gets larger.
I am not quite sure how xrange works, but it keeps only one number in memory
at any time
In fact, I never use range any more, I always use xrange.
