A good quote I read (I can't remember who it was from, though) is "If you need more than three levels of indentation, then something is seriously wrong with your code." Possibly Guido himself? Anyway. If you've got 100 levels of for, you're probably making things way harder than they need to be.
assuming 100 levels of for and 2 items in each sequence, you'll end up with 1267650600228229401496703205376 iterations through the inner loop. assuming each iteration takes a picosecond, it'll take approx 40 billion years to run the program.
