Note that those values are of type ‘float’, which is a distinct type

If there is such a thing already available, I'd like to use it,
otherwise I can write a function to mimic this, but I thought I'd
check (my search yielded nothing).
You can write a function to do it.
Alternatively, this case seems simple enough that you can write a
generator expression. Assuming you want ‘Decimal’ values:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> amounts = (Decimal(mantissa)/10 for mantissa in range(-105, 105))
>>> for amount in amounts:
... print amount
...
Another nice solution stored away for use!
