I think what makes more sense is to compare the code one most

yet, where performance starts to matter.
Hopefully when you do you will improve your programming practices to
not make poor choices - there are few excuses for not using xrange ;)

And can you shed some light on how that relates with one of the zens
of python ?
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
For the record, the impact of range() versus xrange() is negligable -- on
my machine the xrange() variant even runs a tad slower. So it's not clear
whether Kris actually knows what he's doing.
You are only thinking in terms of execution speed.
Yes, because my remark was made in the context of the particular benchmark
supposed to be the topic of this thread.
No, you may notice that the above text has moved off onto another
discussion.
