The C specification limits programs to addressing a finite amount of memory, though it can be made arbitrarily large by an implementation. The Python specifications do not imply this though real interpreters do.

Yes, this is my entire point
Why should I care what the language specification states in a computability theory discussion? There only needs to exist a method to accomplish our goal-Whether the method conforms to specification or not doesn't seem relevant to me.
