I saw this comment in Python 2.6.8's source code: Objects/intobject.c
line 25
But in the function PyInt_ClearFreeList()
It will call PyMem_FREE(list) for empty int block.
Why?
Before proceeding, I would check the current 2.7.3 code.
It is possible that the comment is obsolete.
You might be a better idea if you clone the hg repository and check the
history for when those two lines were last modified.
