Jan 4, 2014 at 20:08 comment added 200_success Write n = n / currentPrime as n = n // currentPrime (explicit integer division) for compatibility with Python 3. Or, n //= currentPrime.
Jan 4, 2014 at 20:07 comment added 200_success isPrime = [True for _ in range(n + 1)] can be written as isPrime = [True] * (n + 1). I would also add a comment that isPrime[0] and isPrime[1] are erroneous but inconsequential.

power operator looks nicer and is slightly more efficient too

made more readable, slightly less quick
Nov 2, 2013 at 16:42 comment added flup @GarethRees Ported to Python. Better? :)

added conclusion about efficiency
Nov 2, 2013 at 15:46 comment added flup @GarethRees You are most observant ;) It is a Java implementation of a (way) more efficient algorithm. Shouldn't be too hard to port to python since it's all simple arithmetic computations.
Nov 2, 2013 at 15:12 comment added Gareth Rees This code does not appear to be in Python.
