Sorry if this is the wrong ng/ml, but thought I'd better flag this up
somewhere.
I've had an OverflowError using xrange with Python 2.6.5 on Windows.
Googling got me to the subject line.
msg97928 gives a code snippet to overcome the limitations of xrange,
allowing for negative steps, however it doesn't raise a ValueError for a
zero step. msg99624 gives a docs change that has been implemented for
V2.6, but this doesn't refer to the msg97928 code snippet, rather it
refers to a one liner that only works for positive steps. The docs for
V2.7 haven't been changed at all.
Assuming that I am correct, can I create myself a login on the bugs
tracker and re-open the issue to get this sorted?
Kindest regards.
Mark Lawrence.
