What is the maximum limit of a simple counter in a While loop - Python

Question

What will be the maximum counting integer in an infinite While loop

count = 0
while True:
    c += 1
    print(c)

Is it int.maxsize() for Python3?

Python is fine with arbitrary length integers. So, the limiting factor is your memory. — Klaus D., Jun 16 '20 at 05:38

You can check with the sys module of the standard library.

Max int size;

>>> sys.maxint
9223372036854775807

Min int size;

>>> -sys.maxint - 1
-9223372036854775808
