I don't think <0, 1, ..., 9> is much clearer than range(0, 10). The only problem students may have is that 10 not in range(0, 10), but this can be learned very quickly. The <..> repr breaks x == eval(repr(x)) invariant which is actually important in some of my code. Furthermore, the proposed <..> representation suggests that the range object contains the integers, which is not true. While eval/repr round-tripping may not be important for the majority of applications, it is a nice feature for any interactive work including education. Finally, I think introducing students to list(range(..))/tuple(range(..)) idioms early is a good thing. The sooner they learn that list/tuple are real containers while ranges, dict key/values etc. are not the better. ---------- nosy: +belopolsky __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2610> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
