Memory leak on python startup in Mac OS terminal

Question

I just ran a python program in a Mac OS terminal and there is an unusual memory leak.

The program is simple:

for i in xrange (1,000,000,000, 2,000,000,000, 10):
  i2 = i * i
  print i, i2, str (i2) [:: 2]
  if str (i2) [:: 2] == '1234567890':
    break

When the program is running, it consumes more and more memory until it uses all my memory. When I exit the program, my Terminal.app still consumes a lot of memory, so I assume this is an error in Terminal.app?

Does anyone have a similar experience?
