I've looked again at what it would take to update the C code and think that the optimizations there make it difficult to add this feature without adding a lot of code complexity and without slowing-down the common case. Also, I value the simplicity of the current API. Suggest you use "range(start, sys.maxsize, step)" or just roll your own generator (like Lambert's second version). _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
