Edit
Issue 1546078: "xrange that supports longs, etc" on the Python issue tracker contains C patch and pure Python implementation of unlimited xrange written by Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz). See xrange.py
Edit
The latest version of irange (renamed as lrange) is at github.
Implementation based on py3k's rangeobject.c
