Peter Otten added the comment: As every beginner will learn about (and probably overuse) range() pretty soon I think it's OK to use that form.
The math-inspired notation [0, 255] may be misinterpreted as a list. You also lose the consistency of preferring half-open intervals everywhere. The third alternative I see, 0 <= x < 256 has the problem that it requires a name (the 'x') that may not correspond to a variable in the source code. You'd also need to clarify that x must be an int to make the message bulletproof. I think this should be left as is. ---------- nosy: +peter.otten _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
