I didn't want to cheat by looking on S.O. but thanks ;)

Yes it makes sense (in the GPT code) that you'd only go up to i * i ... although looking at pythonic while: statements is just gross to me in this context, it would feel a lot more readable to say, e.g. in PHP:

for ($i=2;$i<sqrt($n);) { $i+=($i==2 ? 1 : 2); //although the first one should just be outside the loop }
