In both Python 2.7 and 3.3+, you can use the 3rd-party six module to help with forward compatibility: from six.moves import xrange In Python 2.7, it's just the normal xrange (importing is a no op basically), but in Python 3 it points to range. Kind of wish parts of six were in the Python standard library. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
