I think the issue is that nobody else here thinks the "original way" of iterating was to use range(), for anything other than extremely small ranges. For information, it looks like xrange() was added on 26 Oct 1993, which pre-dates Python 1.0. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
