if i want a list with all numbers between x and y is there a way to
do this with an inbult function.
i mean i can always construct a function to do this but is there
soemthing like:
nbrs = list(range(50,100, 2))
range *does* that. use xrange if all you want is to iterate.
Until Python 3.0, where 'range' returns an iterable.
Is there a thread somewhere of the discussion for this change? I'm
presuming range is used almost exclusively in loops where a change in
the return type would have no negative effect.
