Not completely sure I understand (my C is weak).
But you can do:
x=range(9)
x's contents will be
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
or
x=range(12,25)
x's conetnst will be
[12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24]
if you mean a way to limit x's contents to a predefined
list of values, you need to write a class for that and
override the __setattr__ method to limit. Quick
example:
class a:
def __setattr__(self, attr, x):
if x in range(10): self.__dict__[attr]=x
else:
print "error, x not in ", str(range(10))
>>> x=a()
>>> x.value=11
error, x not in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> x.value=8
>>>
