Eh, no. range(0, 3) would be correct, since the Python range function generates a list from start to stop-1. > The range([start], stop, [step]) function generates a sequence of > numbers which the the for loop iterates over. > > (You can also use xrange() for a more memory efficient solution for very > large ranges). > >> 2.

And can they be easily reverse-engineered? They are a binary representation of bytecode, just like in Java. They can be reverse-engineered more easily than machine code, but it still is no no-brainer. Btw, they are created automatically... Reinhold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
